SIMPLY Gum Variety Pack (Assorted Flavors), Plastic-Free Natural Chewing Gum, 6 pack (90 pieces) | Vegan, Kosher, Non GMO, Aspartame Free and Sorbitol Free

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.

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.

I have really mixed feelings about this gum. I chose it because I don't like all the chemicals in traditional gum, and this stuff is all natural. The bad part is, some of the flavours suck. The mint is so soft it feels like mucous in your mouth (i don't know if it is the oil they flavour it with that breaks down the base or what), the ginger and fennel flavours are just not for me (a little too strong and are flavours I am not fond of anyway), but the coffee, maple, and cinnamon are all pretty good. The coffee, cinnamon, and maple all have the closest texture to traditional gum with flavours that are not overly offensive. I am not a big fan of coffee, so I only chew it on occasion (it may be better if it had more sweetness to it, but for those who like the coffee flavour, this might be good for you). The maple has such a subtle favour that is not comparable to maple syrup like I thought it would be, it is not that sweet but still makes for a nice chew. The cinnamon is by far my favourite of the bunch. The gum has a nice texture with enough cinnamon flavour to give you that good punch you want from a cinnamon gum without being too overwhelming or artificial like Big Red. Another side note- the pieces of gum are not uniform. At all. It says 15 pieces per pack, which is an estimate I feel as a lot of my packs undoubtedly had many more, but the pieces vary so much in size that it is kind of offputting. Sometimes you are fine with one piece, sometimes you need 2 or 3. I would like to see more flavours from this brand like maybe a citrus or more unique flavours like they currently have, and I would also like to see some reformulations to get all of their current flavours on the same level as far as amount of flavour and texture of the gum as you chew it, as well as less variance in the site of each piece.

Incredible product. Rice flour may seem unusual at first but quickly melts away. Long lasting, great flavor. Superior to all the rest.

I think your experience with this all natural gum will depend on your expectations. I'd had all natural gum before, so I was expecting the flavors to be subtle and to fade fairly quickly, and that the gum would start out hard and then get softer as chewed. There's a point where it gets super soft and sticks to everything, but if you keep chewing it gets firmer until it's just right. I bought it for TV watching and book reading, those times when you're continually tempted to snack on something. Since I live remotely in the Alaskan bush where having snacks continually on hand is not an option, this was the perfect long lasting answer. I won't buy the artificially flavored gum because artificial colors and sweeteners bother me. Also, I dislike the chemical aftertaste that lingers long after you're done with the gum. I also don't particularly enjoy the cancer warnings on the lables of artificial gum. I bought the variety pack and love every flavor, though the coffee one is my favorite. Cinnamon is the strongest, followed by mint and coffee, then the others. Since I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I like that they're not very sweet. And the fact that the flavors fade fairly fast reassures me that everything in them actually is natural as advertised. And I am particularly happy that there is no aftertaste at all. In short this gum is exactly what I expected, and does exactly what I wanted. As a bonus, the wrappers to dispose of used gum was a nice, thoughtful touch and shows this company put considerable thought and care into the product, which I also found reassuring. If you don't go into this expecting super sweet, chemically perfected bubble gum which is bad for your body, you'll be much happier with this product. I know five star reviews are suspect these days so I want to make it clear that I did not receive this product in exchange for a review and I'm not affiliated with the company in any way. I'd never heard of them or the product until I bought it on Amazon. I just like, a lot, that they filled my expectations and are exactly what they advertised--an all natural product that's good for you.

The Package and the form presented are convincing, but the Gum itself its not what i expected. The taste is nice in the first 5 seconds, but last for 40 seconds in total for having a taste and a good feeling, then you fell like you are chewing some sticky glue and it leaves like a sense of dust in mouth. The sugar is less which is ok, but again, per total, is one time purchase, nothing more.

Wonderful flavors fun to chew. 2 things that didn't work for me. First the most unimportant thing is you can not blow bubbles. Second the main reason for this low rating is because it got stuck in my teeth to easily to the point it was hard to even floss out. Which is weird because my teeth are so close together. It is good gum just not for my house hold. The stuck in the teeth bit happened to us all. Flavors are great. House favorite was coffee it is gone. I personally love the variety pack because I also tried taking pieces from seperate packs to combine flavors. Cinnamon maple and ginger is my jam. I love that it also comes with after chew papers to discard the gum. It is SUPER sticky so not getting it on your fingers is a must. I appreciate the experience. Not the best not the worst. Worth a try if you are looking for something without all the extra ingredients.

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!
