I think I may have seen a gum brand by that name, but I wouldn’t swear on it. And you’re absolutely right about the other ones you mentioned!

I actually needed a hint for both of these: crouton & curaçao.
I very much did not like today’s puzzle. I got the pangram right away, but then struggled with the rest of the words. Ugh. Only one food word that I saw - canned.

Glycolic is a word, and I have written a terse note to the NYT.

I have so many terse notes to write to the NYT.
I have a whole folder. About 30 terse emails.

I’m an activist by nature!
I think they disregard most science words… nonionic doesn’t work either (not today), lectin didn’t work recently…
Wouldn’t non-ionic have a hyphen?
I’m pretty far from a scientist, just spitballin’…
Which I find enraging, considering that “lollop,” “lobo” and “canna” are in there all the time, words I’ve almost never seen outside of Spelling Bee. Allow me to list some other non-science-y words that (at least when I complained about them) should be in there and aren’t, according to me: concomitant, bolete, ballgirl, mojito, rarify, unindicted, footman, anole, unpopped, whinge, anole…

Not according to Merriam-Webster, or my college and grad school professors!

A fun one today with several food words, but no maco? Meh.
