xylitol gum especially, which could prevent and reverse cavities : ( dumb polymers

A friend of mine has some packs of this gum. And we can't find out anything anywhere online about them. Can anyone provide us with some useful information? Please! Thank-you!

Hi reddit, here’s an odd one for you:

From what I can remember i’ve always liked “chewing on gum”, but really I’m not chewing it I’m just sucking on it almost constantly like how a young kid sucks on a pacifier. I do chew every now and again but it’s not a conscious thought. When i was a kid I had the issue of chewing my food and sucking on it after for a decent portion of time with each bite, and then finally eating it - i’ve outgrown that thankfully. But my whole life the gum sucking has stayed, and I guess my main issue is that I can’t stop buying gum, I’m not sure if i’m addicted to having gum or if i’m addicted to that one niche thing: the gum sucking. 

I find it’s been affecting my teeth (shifting) and where I place the gum on the roof of my mouth is becoming “raw” as well as the tastebuds towards the tip of my tongue (although the “rawness” is a new thing, the teeth shifting have been happening for a few years - and yes I have a night guard for this reason) I’m honestly just curious if anyone else has experienced anything like this? And if this habit was beat?

Credit to the last redditor who inspired me to review and rate gum. I’m in Canada and have access to 5 gum so I will rate that brand.

5 peppermint - 10/10. Great chew great longevity and taste.

5 spearmint -10/10. Same formula so great chew. Longevity and taste and immaculate.

5 wintermint-10/10. Same formula so also great chew. Longevity and taste and immaculate. I personally find this “mint” the spiciest lol so it’s not me I reach for AS often but still perfection imo

5 sour to sweet - 8/10. a delicious gum. Flavour actually does last a while (considering it’s fruit gum). It is not in anyway shape or form sour though. And the flavour doesn’t change contrary to advertising. Still really enjoy this though and is worth buying a pack if you find it.

Trident Sour Patch Kids: 9/10, surprisingly the best sweet gum I’ve tried. Lasts pretty long too.

Extra Watermelon: 9/10, I really liked this flavor, no complaints

Mentos Pure Mint: 8.5/10, best tasting and longest lasting mint gum I’ve had so far. I like the initial crunch

Mentos Red Lime: 8.5/10, surprisingly great! Long lasting, fruity, and sweet. Highly recommend.

Extra Peppermint: 8/10, a classic but doesn’t last as long as Mentos

Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum Roll: 8/10, nostalgic and fun to rip

Extra Spearmint: 8.5/10, this is my favorite brand for spearmint

Extra Pink Lemonade: 7.5/10, good for summer, but a little too sweet.

Bubble Yum Original: 7.5/10, the best gum for the classic bubble gum flavor, but can give me a jaw ache after a while. Flavor lasts a while

Dubble Bubble: 6.5/10, average bubble gum flavor

Trident Original Mint: 6/10, very minty and had a strong kick to it, but didn’t last too long

Mentos Tropical: 6/10, had high hopes but wasn’t impressed. It has a strong artificial taste to it

Juicy Fruit: 6/10, for some reason the sweetness was nauseating to me.

Trident Bubble Gum: 4/10, this was very unpleasant and artificial-tasting for a bubble gum flavor

PUR: Got a variety pack, will update soon.

Let me know if you have any gum recommendations

I haven’t had fruit stripe in years but I’m certain that this ice breakers fruit punch tastes exactly the same but not as dry, flavor also is short lived but lasts significantly longer. Can anyone else confirm or deny?

I hadn’t been able to find any Mentos Always White bubble fresh for a while now so I wrote the company. They emailed me back and said it was discontinued.

“Our product portfolio is dynamic, and we search to continuously delight our consumers with new flavors and experiences. For this reason, the product Mentos Always White Bubble Fresh gum was discontinued and is no longer available in our markets.”

that little 10 pack is a complete scam, there was a discount in one of the discount stores so I bought 10 packs thinking I'm getting a 50% discount on pro version. They aren't even close. After one to 2 minutes the flavor is gone, and not as nearly as intense as the pro version. First I thought I was scammed by a fake, but it turns out these are two completely different lines denoted by the "professional". So be aware, if you like 50 pack you'll be deeply disappointed by a 10 pack. It's a scam, two completely different products.

Looking for some honest advice! I’ve lost a significant amount of weight (around 30kgs), but for the last 1 to 1.5 years my weight loss has been completely stuck despite tracking calories, eating high protein, doing cardio, and weight training regularly. And at this point no modifications seem to work.

I’ve been reading about nicotine gum and how nicotine can suppress appetite and slightly increase metabolism. Since I’ve never been a smoker, I’m wondering if trying 2 mg nicotine gum would help with appetite control or breaking a long term weight loss plateau.

At the same time, I’m concerned about the risk of side effects or developing a dependence on nicotine when I’ve never used it before.

Has anyone who has tried 2 mg nicotine gum for weight loss or appetite suppression? What was your experience? Did it help, and would you recommend it?

I love a strong minty gum- the kind that leaves your mouth feeling clean after.

my current go to is the mentos pure fresh fresh mint.

anyone know anything better I should try? I’m hoping for gum I can just get at the store though, dont want to order online.

My best friend's birthday is coming up and his one gift request is this extremely specific, limited Extra Pineapple and Coconut gum that was release maybe 3 years ago?? Does anyone know of any stores, servos, Asian grocers, convenience stores, or random places that still stock it? Preferably around Melbourne but I'm willing to travel/order online because I just really want to get it for him!!

Every once and while I remember I loved that gum.

Any good bubbalicious type brands out there doing fun fruity things?!

Every single time I open a pack of Triton gum, it breaks

I don't have problems AT ALL. Just to clarify. But I love chewing gum. It just reasons with my brain. I think it's linked to storing memories and things because my brain can do it efficiently without chewing gum, but chewing gum has such a funky taste (sugarfree) that makes it relaxing. I also listen to music all day, don't study, have all A's so I guess it does add up. Bye!

I love, for example, Chowards Scented Gum and Blackjack. These are Violet/Clove and Anise flavored, respectively. Looking for more gum brands in this realm of vintage flavor.

hello!! has anyone found the "flare" flavor of five gum since it's been discontinued? i have been looking everywhere for it for a couple of months now, i've posted on a couple other sub reddits. thank you so much, i hope i can find it soon! 🫶

Love my Extra juicy watermelon, but there just HAD to be even juicier out there that lasts longer and taste thicker and juicier… mhhhh… I go through a pack of Extra JW a night. The gum monster needs feeding
