5.0 out of 5 starsWOW! Give it a try, especially if you are sensitive to sorbitol, sucralose, or other artificial sweeteners!
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016
I have recently becomes sensitive to sorbitol, the main sweetener in Trident brand chewing gum, plus it is an additional sweetener even in many of the gums with Xylitol!! Also sensitive to sucralose. This gum contains neither. Now, by sensitivity, I mean 5 minutes of chewing it makes me ill to the point of being in the fetal position due to abdominal cramps...OUCH! This gum is GREAT! I chew it for up to 30 minutes at a time, and it does not get hard or tasteless on me. One piece is a bit small, but 1.5 or 2 pcs seems to be a good amount for me. I was really afraid that this would be tasteless after a couple of minutes and difficult to chew after the initial flavor wore off (like Chicklets), but that is not true in either respect. I LOVE all of the flavors but one. Will give my impressions of each flavor in order of most (YUM) to least favorite (YUCK) in this mix of 4 from favorite to least favorite (YUCK!). Pomegranate is MY FAVE flavor by FAR in this pack, is sweet, but not overly so, but does not taste like pomegranate to me, but is very good. Peppermint is decent, not overwhelming unless I chew 2 at a time, and it really freshens the breath and the flavor seems to last the longest, but since I cannot stand the Spearmint, I cannot really comment on the longevity of that one. Third in line for me is Wintergreen- it is an good flavor, If it came in a pack again, I would chew it for sure, Peppermint and Wintergreen run neck and neck in my favorite flavor list. Now, as for Spearmint...BLECH, PTOOEY, YUCK, COUGH-COUGH(!!!)- FAR too strong, (IMHO). I can only chew half of a piece just to get rid of it slowly, as I hate to waste it. You may like it better than I do, I just warn you- try ONE at a time the first time. Now the Flavor does really last, though (a good thing if you enjoy the flavor). I honestly thought I would hate the peppermint, as most peppermint-flavored things are too strong for my taste (like Altoids mints strong to my tender tongue), but I opened it after all of the others and was pleasantly surprised. I will not buy this particular pack again, but only because I do not personally like one of the flavors. I DID NOT receive a discount or free product for my unbiased review...LOL- always wanted to say that!
