I’ve just been into gum lately and a lot feel like they don’t taste good any longer than a jaw breaker would.

What are your top picks?

    Definitely NOT Fruit Stripe. Holy fuck that shit lost flavor within 3 chomps.

      All the upvotes I assume are from people who are equally as lost as us.

      I got sour mentos gum recently and it was good for like… a little bit.

    Trident, the green or blue ones.

    Shit lasts forever.

    I don’t know why, but literally zero brands seem to be able to make cinnamon flavor last. For mint flavors, Extra seems to be incredibly long lasting imo. But they can’t get the damn cinnamon right either. Why can no one get long lasting cinnamon???

      I typically chew a single stick of Extra mint for over an hour and have frequently chewed one single stick for closer to four. No exaggeration! Not very minty or chewy at that point tho.

    I remember 5 and Stride roughly appearing on shelves at the same time. Stride always advertised as being long lasting, while 5 had those weird “sensation” ads.

    5 was, and continues to be, the longest lasting gum I’ve ever had. Sometimes I am tired of chewing the shit and it still has flavor.

    Meanwhile Stride barely lasts longer the Zebra Stripe and Zebra Stripe has always had the least lasting flavor of any gum I can remember.

    My advise, stay away from long lasting candies like jaw breakers on a regular basis, the slow trickle of sugar all day will wreck havok on your teeth.

    That being said, I find Extra or Five gum lasts quite long.
