There's a reason TUMS is known as America\'s #1 antacid. The iconic brand has been a treatment in the fight against heartburn for nearly 90 years. Created in 1928 by pharmacist James Howe to treat his wife\'s indigestion, TUMS brand was introduced to the public in 1930 and quickly became an American favorite. Today, the main production facility for TUMS can still be found in downtown St. Louis, where it was originally built.
GSK, the makers of TUMS, does not produce private labels (like generic store-brand products). That\'s what makes TUMS different, and buying store-brand is not the same experience.
