History
Juicy Jay's was founded by Joshua Kesselman. In the 1980s on a trip to Queens, New York, Kesselman was given the nickname "Cool J." The first flavored wrap produced was menthol and was branded "Cool Jay's." The next flavor wrap created was watermelon and termed "Juicy Jay’s Watermelon" and was the first iteration of the company name.
In 2009, Juicy Jays sued the FDA in order to protect their products in the US marketplace. A Federal court case ensued and the end result being that Juicy Jays are still available in the US Marketplace.
As of 2018 Juicy Jays produced more than 30 different flavors, including Green Apple, Strawberry, and Banana.
