Candy & Chocolate

Product Overview

Banana flavour stick chewing gum, supplied as 10 boxes with 5 sticks in each — 50 sticks in total. Soft stick gum in the traditional folded-paper wrapper.

Banana is one of the classic old gum flavours: sweet, distinctly artificial, and either exactly what you remember or something you have never tried. It is a nostalgia flavour more than a modern one.

Ten boxes is the sensible size for a household or a desk drawer rather than a shop counter.

How Much Is This?

• 10 boxes, 5 sticks per box
• 50 sticks in total
• A 20-box (100 stick) pack of the same gum is listed separately if you want more

About Imported Packs

This is a genuine imported product, sourced from the market printed on the pack. That means the label, the ingredient list and the nutrition panel are the ones the manufacturer printed for that country, and the wording may differ from a locally packaged version of the same brand.

Check the expiry date on the pack when it arrives. The pack’s own ingredient list and instructions are the authority on its contents — always read them, especially if you are buying for someone with an allergy or a dietary restriction.

Allergy Information

Imported snacks are usually made on lines that also handle peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, soya and egg, so a pack can carry traces of an ingredient that is not in the recipe.

If you or your child has a food allergy, read the allergen statement on the pack before opening it. We list what we know from the product, but the printed pack is the only thing that can be relied on, and recipes change without notice.

A Straight Answer on Halal Status

Imported confectionery, biscuits and crisps can contain gelatine, mono- and diglycerides, enzymes or flavourings whose origin the pack does not always state. Some brands carry a halal mark for the market they were made for; many do not, because the market they were printed for did not require one.

We are a shop, not a certifying body, and we will not label something halal that we cannot prove. Check the pack for a certification mark and read the ingredient list. If this matters for your purchase, message us before you order and we will tell you exactly what is printed on the pack we hold.

A Note on Chewing Gum

• Not for young children. Gum is a choking hazard and small children swallow it.
• Sweetened gum keeps sugar against the teeth. Sugar-free gum after meals is the version with a dental benefit; this is not that.
• Chewing a lot of gum on an empty stomach tends to leave you bloated from swallowed air.

What This Is, Honestly

This is a snack. It is here because it tastes good, not because it is good for you, and the copy on this page is not going to pretend otherwise.

Crisps, chocolate and sweet biscuits are high in some combination of salt, sugar and fat, and they are best treated as an occasional treat alongside real meals rather than as a substitute for one. The nutrition panel on the pack gives you the actual numbers per 100g and per serving — worth a look if you are watching salt or sugar.

Storage

• Keep the pack somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
• Once opened, reseal it tightly or move it into an airtight container. Crisps and biscuits go soft within a day in Dhaka humidity if left open.
• Eat an opened pack within a few days for the best texture — the expiry date on the pack applies to the unopened pack.
• If the pack has arrived punctured or already open, do not eat it. Message us instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sticks in total?

50 — ten boxes of five sticks.

Is it the same gum as the 20-box pack?

Yes, identical. Only the quantity differs.

Is it sugar free?

No, it is sweetened stick gum.

Is it halal?

Read the pack. Some imported brands carry a halal mark and some do not, and we will not claim a certification the manufacturer has not given. If it matters for your order, message us first and we will tell you exactly what the pack we hold says.

How do I check the expiry date?

It is printed on the pack — usually on the base, the seal or the back panel, and often as a “best before” date. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or very close, message us and we will replace it.
