Simply GumVariety Pack - Peppermint, Cinnamon, Ginger, Fennel, Maple, Coffee | Plant- Based Chewing Gum | Synthetic Plastic Free + Aspartame Free + non GMO

I love this gum! As someone who's become increasingly concerned about what goes into my body, finding a natural alternative to traditional gum has been a game changer.What makes this product stand out is that it's free from the petroleum based ingredients found in most mainstream brands. The spearmint flavor is subtle but pleasant -- definitely not as intensely flavored as synthetic gums, but that's actually part of its charm. The flavor is authentic rather than artificial.The texture holds up remarkably well during long chewing sessions. I regularly chew a piece for over an hour during my morning workouts, and it maintains its consistency throughout without dissolving or becoming sticky.While the flavor might not last as long as chemical laden alternatives, the peace of mind knowing I'm not exposing myself to microplastics and artificial ingredients makes it completely worth it.Perfect for anyone looking to eliminate unnecessary chemicals from their daily routine without sacrificing simple pleasures. Highly recommended!

Simply gum has a simple mission - real gum, real ingredients. It's great.Real gum - As the legend goes, America learned about chewing gum when General Santa Ana was taken prisoner. He chewed chicle, a dried sap from a tree, to calm his nerves. Somehow, the trend took off. Simply Gum uses real chicle. You may know Chicle as the ingredient that gives Chiclets brand gum their name.Real ingredients - The ingredient list doesn't have any weird chemical names or trade secrets. The ingredients are always a chicle base with natural flavors such as spearmint and a little sugar. That's all.Really good - So far I've had the maple and coffee flavors. Coffee flavor really does taste like fresh coffee, although the maple flavor really tastes more like brown sugar to me. Both are delicious. Flavors last a good time. I define a lasting flavor as anything longer than about 30 seconds. This gum holds up fine. Past that point you're chewing it to work your jaw, so flavor doesn't really matter.Real chew - Chicle has a great bite, which is unrivaled by any modern formulation in my opinion. The only problem with chicle is that it can "stick" ever so slightly to the teeth, which means it can be a nightmare for anyone with certain dental appliances. Definitely try a pack before you buy in if you ever have problems with things sticking to your teeth. But for pure chewing pleasure, chicle rules.Real packaging. The gum comes in a printed cardboard box. That's all. No foil wrappers, no plastic strips. It's just recyclable cardboard. There are also wax papers included. These are less common for Americans so you should know they're a polite way to dispose of used gum so you don't have to touch it. It's a nice thing to include.The catch? Simply Gum is expensive. I think they're 100% worth it. I keep swallowing my gun so far, which I always do when I love the flavor of gum. I keep thinking it's candy and want to reach for another piece.What about sugar? Won't it rot your teeth? Some people complain about sugar in gum. This is only a problem if you (like me) are prone to swallowing deliciously flavored gum like candy. The point of chewing gum for dental health is three-fold. One, you work your jaw muscles to promote proper function. Two, you can dislodge food particles hiding between your teeth. Three, you scrub off some of the sugars and bacteria which can hide on teeth and turn into plaque. Chewing gum with natural sugar still does all of this. So long as you chew it about 30 seconds longer than the point when it loses its sugary flavor, you're not really leaving any residue. Your saliva breaks down the sugars, the gum massages any remnants off your teeth, and you swallow the evidence. Just chew your gum completely, and enjoy that lovely chicle bite.

I REALLY wanted to like this gum....I suffered through an entire 12 pack with the heart of a champion.APPEARANCE: It's brown and terd-like. It looks like something you would find in the bottom of your grandmother's closet. The first time I tried to offer a piece to my wife, she thought it was a practical joke and I had found it on the ground in the parking lot of Whole Foods. I literally couldn't get her to try it for about 10 minutes. Care to offer a piece to a friend or stranger to start a conversation in a public place? Forget about it!FLAVOR: It actually tastes good! For a total of about .0299792458 nano seconds. This is coincidentally the same amount of time it takes light to travel 1 meter. Strap in, the ride is just getting started.CONSISTENCY: After only a few minutes of chewing, it develops a sticky consistency.....It sticks to your tongue, teeth, lips, and anything else this highly evolved alien parasite comes in contact with. If you try to spit it out, it will stick to your fingers in a last effort to remain with it's host.SIZE: It's very small and that makes it very unsatisfying (please insert your own joke here). If you are used to chewing a standard size gum, naturally you will try to chew 2 pieces at once; but this creates an even larger mother alien parasite that even Sigourney Weaver would have difficulty disposing of.WRAPPERS: I will say, I thought it was cool that they include these disposable little paper wrappers right in the pack. Yes, you will be using those IMMEDIATELY. It actually compounds the problems. Now you've gone and got me started on these wrappers....First off, the paper is engineered to be the thickness of a quantum particle. You actually experience the observer effect as they appear in and out of reality when you hold them. Once inside, your gum instantly absorbs through this paper and that disappears creating an endless sticky disaster. You can try to wrap it into a ball therefore increasing the multiple folding layers that come in contact with the gum, but this gum will laugh at your efforts. You have to double, and in some cases triple up the wrappers! The joke's on you, because the creatures who spawned this oral leviathan put half as many quantum wrappers in the pack as actual pieces of gum!Please do the universe a favor and pass right by this gum if you ever see it in the store. In fact, use fire to burn the surrounding area and any other pod like structures you find nearby. You have been warned.

While I would prefer the gum were a wee firmer, the flavors are phenomenal! The cinnamon actually tastes like cinnamon, not some weird spicy concoction. The fennel is wonderful. The coffee is the best version of that flavor I've found. I'm confident the maple, ginger, and peppermint will also be wonderful. I start with one piece (the individual pieces are small), then add another later when I want more flavor. Happy to have paid the price. My only issue is that the listing stated 2-day delivery, and it took 2 weeks.
