Becoming Kosher: Tootsie Rolls, Gatorade and more?

The most recent word is that Tootsie Rolls and Gatorade are becoming kosher under the supervision of the OU. I'm curious as to when Wrigley's would bear kosher supervision since there was a rumor floating around that they would turn kosher but it's been over a year since that news started to circulate and yet Wrigley's still bears no kosher supervision label. Evidently there is a company called "Intesley Different" that has been putting a lot of new kosher snacks on the market. They create and purchase franchise names to use on their labels i.e. TGIF mozzarella sticks, Bob's Texas style potato chips (you must try the jalapeno!) and more.

Kosher News To Chew On: Wrigley's Going Kosher?

On Oct. 6th Mars successfully completed it's acquisition of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. The questions for consumers is if Mars Corp, which has most of it's products under kosher certification (namely the orthodox union) will attempt to acquire the OU's certification over Wrigely products. Kosher Wrigley gum is only available in kosher stores and is imported from the UK ( pic on right). Wrigley had considered going kosher even before the buyout but now it may become a reality.
