I haven't seen Black Jack gum for years - does it still exist?

I haven't seen Black Jack gum for years - does it still exist?

As a matter of fact, it does, and is usually sold in special displays along with the Clove gum and Beemans, in the traditional five-stick packs. I don't buy the Black Jack myself, but always stock up on the Clove when it comes around. Usually every few years around the holiday season. Adams (now owned by Cadbury) makes batches every few years. It is out of stock most places now, but I see someone is selling boxes of 80 packages on ebay for $32.95. Not a bad price at all, most of the rare candy stores sell the 20-ct packages for about $20.
