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.
I was disappointed in Bazooka Joe a few years ago. I used to love getting it and reading the comics as a kid and my dad telling me about his own nostalgia.
Two chews in and the flavor was gone. I’m not even exaggerating on that.
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.

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.
Do you prefer radial or bias-ply?
I’m a traditionalist, so bias. I just never got a round to radials.
Can’t say any of them last, but Teaberry was always a brand I liked.
Hi Chews.
