Caramel Coconut Girl Scouts flavored gum made in America by Project 7

Project 7 is a specialty gum and candy brand whose mission is as ambitious as it is delicious. With unexpected and crave-worthy flavors, when you pop this candy in your mouth you expose yourself to a whole new candy experience and happen to be helping people around the world in 7 HUGE ways at the same time. I see Project 7 as our very own, real-life, modern day Willy Wonka, but this time instead of implying the messages of goodness though a crazy factory tour, Project 7 is out there living the goodness, making it happen and making us smile all at once.

So many gourmet gum flavors from Project 7 for every season and occasion

Tyler Merrick was a successful entrepreneur and benefactor for good across man organizations for most of his life. It was in 2008 when Tyler found himself irking to do more to help people through his business ventures. He wanted to be a catalyst for change in a constantly inward consumer-centric culture.  His solution was simple, "Lets make everyday products, for everyday people, to solve everyday problems around the globe". In that moment Project 7 was born and Tyler became a social entrepreneur, dedicated to making "Products for Good".
