I have never considered that the brand of the
gum--Wrigley's Double Mint--found in the Radley tree had any special significance in
To Kill a Mockingbird. Double Mint was one of the most popular
flavors of gum at the time of the story (probably along with Wrigley's Juicy Fruit), and
I would imagine that author Harper Lee simply used this very common brand as Boo's
choice. I suppose she could have chosen the Double Mint name as a symbolic choice to be
given to the two children, but I don't think it serves any significant purpose to the
novel.
