I loved this gum; you can sometimes find it at the Dollar Store. Very sweet, but the flavour has nothing to do with soap; it tastes more like a mild berry. Supposedly "soapanin/soaponin" is a spice used in Indian desserts; that might be where the "soap" comes from.

Thrills is flavoured with rosewater, although people often mistake it for lavender because of the purple colour. I think there may be a little coriander in it, too, which would explain the "Indian" flavour. I've always liked it!

You can still get Thrill gum! I picked some up at a Bulk Barn last week and I've since found Canadian online retailers that sell it. It's comes in a packet now instead of a box. The funny thing is, the packet says right on the front, "IT STILL TASTES LIKE SOAP!" :D and you still have to pop a piece in your mouth every minute or two to keep the flavour going.

I like it!
