Since then, Economy has become something of a self-appointed goodwill ambassador for the brand.Sammy Oakey, president of Oakeys Funeral Service and Economy have a friendship that goes back 45 years. After Economy recently suffered heart attacks, he approached his longtime friend with a request: When his time came, he wanted to be buried in a coffin(棺材) painted to resemble his trademark gum.

In an e-mail from the company president, he was told the company would go along with whatever the family wanted to do.Not only did the gum company give their biggest fan a final gift, they also sent Economys family 250 packs of Juicy Fruit as a thank you for his lifelong brand love.Economy has actually taken a turn for the better.
