I think it kind of smells like Skoal. And while chewing is REPULSIVE, I still like my Winterfresh gum!

another gum smacker/poper/cracker (??) here. i can get quite violent with it.

i am constantly chewing gum, mostly when i can't smoke. i think i have an oral fixation.

i'm also always running out of gum, so i will most likely be that annoying stranger who will approach you for a piece.

the kinds i like most are the trident original flavour, anything cinnamon, and if i'm feeling silly, watermelon. the watermelon ones tend to lose their flavour fast tho.

there also used to be this great gatorade flavoured gum years ago, but i guess they discontinued it. it was quite sour, but i loved it. i tried the green apple altoid gum, thinking it would be similar, and i almost died. that kind of sour can't be legal!

i'm a gum popper. and i'm probably the most annoying kind of gum popper... the repetitive, see-how-loud-they-can-get popper. it's kind of like a nervous tic, i guess, because i do it mostly when i'm tense (which is almost always).

i don't like little pops, either. i like those high-powered SNAPs you can only get from little bubbles popped against teeth. heh.. i remember my grandma teaching me how to blow bubbles..and bubbles inside bubbles.. and having loud-popping contests when i was little. she'd always have a bunch of dubble bubble around, and we'd cram as many pieces as would fit into our mouths while watching baseball games on tv. i miss those days with all my being.

I do also love gum! I am a very jittery person...if I am not chewing gum I am taping my foot...even if I am chewing gum i still tap my foot but its not as bad....I LOVE blowing the huge bubbles!!! I like the gum with the goo on the inside....I think its by trident? I forget but it was strawberry lime and the lime was inside and the strawberry was the gum...i LOVE IT...I am sad they only give u 9 peices! they need to give you more!!!

I love gum. I ALWAYS have gum in my mouth. always. welllll....okay...maybe not always

but I buy the economy size packs of gum. Mostly sugar-free, but I don't care what brand. i think eclipse just came out with a cute little container that holds 60 peices. i saw it at the gas station and snagged it. it had a little flip top and everything. When i don't have time to brush, sugar-free gum is the way to go. it gets the salivary flow going and helps cleanse the teeth. o.k...nevermind. i like gum

Winterfresh....End of Story.

So I bought a new gum flavor the other day - just got around to trying. It's Orbit Mint Mojito.

I do NOT recomend it. It's not good.

It sort of tasted like some skanky bottled/canned tea...it's not at all minty - it's just weird.

hmmm...my girlfriend was just telling me yesterday how much she loved it! ha!

Orbit is my gum of choice, I have been on a sweetmint kick for a while now, but now I am really curious to see if the mint mojito one sucks or not!

Well I gave it to our receptionist and she LOVED it. Like more than a person should love a gum...she made a big production of how good she thought it was.

So to each their own...I found it replulsive but apparently there are at least two people in the world who love it

Orbit is great stuff~~love the spearmint and raspberry mint varieties

I'm a major gum fan! I love gum. I like bubble gum the best. Watermelon, cotton candy, and original are my favorite flavors. Spearmint is my favorite, regular gum flavor. My favorite ice cream is bubble gum from Baskin Robbins.

Big League Chew.

Ah, the memories.....

did I just get too technical for this thread??

No, like Dee said, we love that crap.

I don't like bubble gum though because I eat it...what is it about that...I can't help but swallow it. I'm more of a Winterfresh, Dentyne kinda guy.

Interesting.

"Michelle was just there to get gas, but couldn't resist the adorable new gum canister. It was practically calling her name from the counter. 'Buy me, bitch' it said. And she did."

I like gum, but not cinnamon flavor. Doesn't matter anyway, I have TMJD & it kill me to chew gum for longer than a few minutes, so I usually don't.
