chiclet

Small coated gum

Chiclet is a brand of candy-coated chewing gum, small and rectangular with rounded edges.

The distinctive shape has become a reference point for similar objects—chiclet keyboards have small, flat, slightly spaced keys resembling the gum pieces: My old laptop had those chiclet keys.

In the plural, chiclets can mean teeth, especially white or prominent ones.
