Topps came out with these very awesome containers of gum right about the time of the North American video game crash. I have a vague recollection of buying these and the gum inside being mini-Chiclets. Sadly I never kept one and if I tried it is long since crushed in some box somewhere.
If you look very closely I think you will be pretty impressed by the details on these things. Not bad for a disposable gum container. Check out a single container:
