World War II Veteran Wants His Coffin Painted Like a Pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Gum

News 18  

A World War II veteran has an unusual last wish. The man has been so attached to Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit pack of gum that he wants to have his casket painted to look like the pack of the chewing gum. CNN reported citing Mars that during the second World War, Wrigley stopped supplying its Spearmint, Doublemint and Juicy Fruit to the civilian market and kept the entire output of these products for the US Armed Forces. Speaking about Economy, Oakey told CNN that he is a unique and patriotic individual and he has a habit of handing out Juicy Fruit gum to people. Mars Wrigley company initially declined Oakey’s request to use Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit logo and trademark on the casket.
