Gum, gum, gum!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Gum, gum, gum!

Gum, gum, gum! I think I'm making history with this thread, because I have NEVER seen a gum thread! Use this thread to answer these questions and more: Do you like it? Do you not like it? Favorite flavor? Why don't you like it? Favorite brand? I personally like 5 React. It's this really good fusion of mint and fruit. It tastes like an explosion in my mouth! I know that sounds like it's from a commercial, but try some and you will be hooked! It never seems to run out of flavor!

Spammy says gvof. Give off? You predicted my weather perfectly....the sun is giving off a lot of heat today.

I like it, but I've braces. I don't have a brand preference, and I prefer it unflavored.

About the heat... here in Mississauga, it's supposed feel like 52 degrees (Celcius) tomorrow and I'm going to be at the barn where there is no air conditioning... but we will be having a water fight. :D

Anyways, I love the mint Icebreakers the best but they're more expensive than normal chewing gum (I think). I also have braces so I'm not supposed to chew gum.

I also like 5 React, but I mostly just stick to plain old Trident.  5 React might have amazing tastes at first, but it runs out of flavor really quickly.  Trident lasts longer.  I mostly like the minty flavors- anything that's not fruity.

I love gum! I normally stick two or three in at a time because the taste goes away too fast otherwise! I like Wrigley's Double Mint gum. Hubba Bubba is okay, but it seems WAY too sugary at times!

I normally would be all over this thread, but I currently have braces and I really am not supposed to be looking at this.

I actually don't like it, I think probably because I had braces when I was really little and really PRETENTIOUS and so I was really obsessive about following the rules (break-down-into-tears-about-eating-a-chip obsessive) so I never really developed a taste for it.

YESSS. Me loves gum. :3
I love Stride Mystery flavor, Orbit Lemonade/Rasberry, and Key Lime Pie. I chew gum constantly, so I would know. No braces yet, luckily.

Oh, I love Stride Mystery Flavor! And according to my dentist, I have a perfect mouth of teeth. :) Hooray!

I usually chew Extra, and my favorite flavor is peppermint. I really don't like fruity gum, though I do occasionally like bubble gum if it's the real, original chunks of tooth-coating sugar (like the original Bubble Yum), but I don't get that very often. :)
