A Virginia man, who has been chewing Juicy Fruit gum for his entire life, has only one wish when he dies... to be buried in a Juicy Fruit casket.
94-year-old Suttie Economy asked the owner of a funeral home to have his casket painted to look like a pack of Juicy Fruit gum. The funeral home director told him he would need permission from the Mars Wrigley Company, so he reached out to them. The company initially refused, but after the unusual request went viral on Facebook, the vice president of the company contacted the funeral home and gave them permission to use the brand's logo on the casket.
A week later, the president of the company sent Suttie and his family a package containing 250 packs of Juicy Fruit.
