Original Delaware Punch

  Subject: The Original Delaware Punch recipe

  Can you locate the ingredients in "Delaware Punch", made by Tri-State Beverage Co.
  in the 1920's? (formulated in San Antonio, Texas, in 1913).  This "lip-smacking" 
  drink was very popular, and was a favorite of my parents, (now 92 years old!). 
  My parents still rave about this non-carbonated, bottled drink, and I would love 
  to know if there is a recipe on it, or if anyone is making this drink now. I believe 
  Coca-Cola now owns the name and makes a drink called Delaware Punch, but it is a 
  milk-based drink.  I would love to surprise my parents.  Can you help?

  Sincerely,

  Elaine

Hi Elaine,

I could not locate a recipe for this grape-based drink. However, I found many items that said Original Formula Delaware Punch is still made in Mexico. You can order it from these two websites. You can also order it in concentrate form and mix it up yourself.

Wax Chewing Gum

  Dear Phaedrus,

  Our museum will be working with 4-6th graders about living in the 1850's.  Thought chewing gum 
  history would be an interesting topic and found that wax or paraffin gum preceded chicle gum 
  in our history.  Would like to make wax gum for the students, but having no success in finding 
  a recipe.  I am not inventive in this.  Can you help?
  
  Thank you,
  Jo

Hello Jo,

Well, I can't find a recipe, but a little research finds that the stuff was basically just paraffin with sugar added, maybe a lttle food coloring. It was like those wax lips kids get at the candy store.

Another predecessor to chewing gum was spruce gum, lumps of the sap of spruce trees. The Indians in the Northeastern U.S. taught the early settlers to chew this, and the Curtis Company marketed it in the mid-19th century.
