Morinaga Hi-Chew — Grape, Strawberry, Lemon, Green Apple & Tropical Mix

The chewy candy Japan invented so you'd never have to spit out gum in public.

Morinaga built Hi-Chew back in 1975 as a taffy-soft alternative to chewing gum, one that simply dissolves instead of needing to be binned mid-conversation. That single idea made it Japan's best-selling soft candy for decades, with over 170 flavours since. This five-flavour mix, grape, strawberry, lemon, green apple and tropical, is the classic lineup at under a dollar.
