Variety Pack - Original Flavors

I bought these because I need an interim habit to help me stop grinding my teeth after getting through an intense period of stress. If I'm focused on chewing the gum, I can't simultaneously maintain the habit I'm trying to break. The quality of the product is impressive. It feels far better than any other gum I've used in the past. The important factor that guided me to this brand was a need for a product that does not utilize aspartame. Even in small amounts, I start getting nasty headaches with migraine-level pain after a few days. As an aside, the amount of aspartame in Diet Dr. Pepper gives me one after just one accidental sip. This gum not only avoids the pitfall of the 'danger ingredient' for me, but chewing it feels more natural and less nasty even after the flavor begins to fade. So far, I've only tried the maple flavor, and I'm satisfied with how long the flavor lasts and the mouth-feel of the chew. I know some reviews mentioned the flavor fading quickly, but so far I find that it beats the conventional gums I've had in the past in that regard. The flavor is crisp and fresh and leaves my breath feeling improved in scent. For the cost I paid and the amount I got for it, I'd say it was worth every cent.

Being old, I don't get out much these days. Instead, I mostly pass the time by smoking large cigars. Sadly, this is frowned on in the office where I work (I know, right?? Political correctness gone mad!!), so I chew a lot of gum when I'm there, and the flavors at the local CVS get pretty tired the nth time round. So when I saw these, I thought I'd give them a chew. They are pretty different from regular gum. They look, slightly disconcertingly, like pet food pellets; and they come loose and unwrapped in the box. In place of the wrappers, you get a separate bunch of post-chew wrappers, for thoughtful disposal of the used gum. I guess it's as good a way of saving a little on the manufacturing costs as any. The flavor is much less intense than regular gum - I'm not saying if that's good or bad, but there it is. And the flavors themselves? All good. My favorite is the licorice and fennel, a nicely subtle and complex taste; followed by the ginger, which has a nice little bit of heat to it. The coffee and maple syrup flavors are both good, sweet and mild. As for the cinnamon and mint? Well, I have to say, I don't really get cinnamon, it's always reminded me too much of old folk's baking when I was a kid; but the gum tastes like it's been made with the real thing,so that's to the good if you like it. Mint? Well I like a bit of mint as much as the next guy - plucked fresh from the garden on boiled new potatoes or shoved in a glass of hot, sweet tea - but I do feel there's too much mint in my life already. (I blame the toothpaste manufacturers. Would it really hurt so much just to offer us just a couple of choices?) But again, the taste of real mint is there. However, as with any gum, the flavor only lasts a few minutes at most; and this is where Simply Gum actually pulls ahead of regular gum. Instead of being left with what feels like a lump of tasteless soft plastic in your mouth, you actually have a smooth, natural tasting gum remaining. It actually reminds me a lot of the gum we used to make for ourselves from wheat as kids, back in the day. And that's a nice little bonus.

I really enjoyed this product. Some of the flavors were not to my taste - but not because they were bad, they just weren't my own personal favorites. That said, my teen daughter LOVED the ones I didn't enjoy, like the coffee and ginger flavors. Here's the thing with this gum - I can't do corn in any way and most chewing gums have some sort of corn byproduct/derivative/whatever (Sorbitol, Xylitol, etc.) I prefer not to have artificial sweeteners, which, again, most gums these days have. I'm not a super stickler about putting stuff I can't pronounce in my mouth, but a gum with only 5 easily recognized ingredients, (*probably?) no corn products, and no artificial sweeteners really appealed to me. (*I say probably no corn products because while most vegetable glycerin is coconut, palm, soy, I haven't really researched this particular brand to know for certain that is the case with this product.) So here are the trade offs, and yes, there are a few: The gum is harder to chew than most of the chewing gum products out there - at first. After a bit, everything softens up and is just fine. This isn't a huge thing, but it definitely is a little off putting for the first 45 seconds of chewing or so. The flavor is pretty solid - not too strong, not so weak you can't tell what flavor you're chewing, but it does fade far more quickly than with "Natural and Artificial Flavors" type gum. This said, I am not an all day gum chewer - it's usually something I do after dinner to either freshen my breath or maybe settle my tummy, so it's not a huge thing. It loses flavor, I toss it, the end. Either or even both of these really only knocks a half star off, if that. So why only 4 stars? Anyone else in their 40's who was raised by their TV will remember the "Freedent's the one that takes the stick out of gum..." jingle. I never really understood what the big deal was, but then, I didn't have my first cavity until I was 41 years old, so, yeah, I never had any "dental work" for my gum to stick to - and guess what? This gum definitely sticks to dental work. I only have one filling, but I have to remember not to chew this gum on that side of my mouth too much or I do get weird strands where the gum sticks to the filling and stretches out back to the gum wad. It's not a huge issue with one filling, but I wonder, for someone who's had more extensive dental work, if this would just be a nightmare. So yeah, that knocks down the review stars a little more. It's not the end of the world, but it IS annoying and for someone else might be even worse. Overall, yes, I will continue to buy this product based on my own preferences and needs, and yes, I would recommend it for others who have similar needs/preferences.

Están todos muy buenos menos el de canela que me parece demasiado fuerte y picante , pero el azúcar se nota bastante. Se te queda la boca empalagosa , también alguno demasiado blandengue , mi favorito el de café

Bevor ich mir diese Kaugummis gekauft habe, hatte ich mir die anderen Rezensionen hier genau durchgelesen - denn billig sind sie ja nun wirkich nicht. Ich wollte aber einfach kein Mineralöl mehr kauen, daher habe ich das Mixpaket genommen. Die Lieferung erfolgte pünktlich und plastikfrei, auch die Artikelverpackung selber kommt ohne aus. Pluspunkt! Geschmacklich habe ich inzwischen alle Sorten einmal getestet - natürlich schmecken mir manche besser als andere (Kaffee ist toll, ich liebe Kaffee!), ist halt persönliche Vorliebe und wenn man alle kennt, bestellt man eben entsprechend. Auch hier gab's aber nix zu meckern von meiner Seite: Der Geschmack ist jeweils eindeutig erkennbar und hält genau so lange, wie der anderer Kaugummis, da gibt es keinen Unterschied. Auch die Konsistenz hat sich nicht negativ verändert, wie ich hier vorher in einer Rezension gelesen hatte. Sie ist von vornherein ein kleines bischen anders, als bei herkömmlichen Kaufgummis, etwas weniger dicht könnte man beschreiben. Aber das verändert sich während des Kauens kaum und ist mir durchaus angenehm. Ich kaue ein Kaugummi zwischen etwa 15 und 30 Minuten und möchte als Fazit ziehen, dass Konsistenz und Geschmack in dieser Zeit stabil bleiben bzw. sich so verhalten, wie ich es von herkömmlichen Kaugummis auch kenne. Last but not least möchte ich kuz auf den Zuckergehalt eingehen: Wer davon Karies bekommt, hatte definitiv schon verher ein Problem damit. Esse ich abends auf dem Sofa eine Portion Chips oder einen Apfel, habe ich mehr Zucker komsumiert als über diese Kaugummis.

A voir les commentaires des gens à dire que ça colle au dents que c’est mou que c’est pas esthétique patati patata, franchement c’est de la mauvaise fois. Certes différent d’un chewing-gum mais expérience agréable, des goûts originaux très bon. Je recommande vraiment ce produit juste pour le plaisir de mâchouiller ou pour arrêter de fumer

Pretty good for a natural chewing gum. The flavour runs out fast to leave a strange taste but other than that it’s worth it

I bought the Simply Gum variety pack but so far I’ve only tried the peppermint—and honestly, I’m impressed. The flavor is clean, fresh, and not overpowering. It feels natural and doesn’t have that artificial aftertaste most gums have. I also love that the ingredients are simple and better for you. If the other flavors are anything like the peppermint, then this variety pack is definitely worth it. Really happy with my purchase!
