Tootsie Roll
Industries acquired Charleston Chew from the
Warner-Lambert Company in 1993. The
Charleston Chew was originally launched in
1922 by its previous owner, the Fox-Cross
Candy Company, and was named after a dance
craze in full swing at the time -- the
Charleston. Currently, Charleston Chew is
produced in Tootsie Roll Industries'
Cambridge, Massachusetts Plant. Sold in 24
wrapped candy bars.
