SIMPLY Plastic-Free Natural Gum, Assorted Flavors, 6 Pack, 15 Pieces Each

I find this gum fantastic. Mild but accurate flavor (natural flavoring), good chewability, and no plastic base. BUT, you have to now what you are actually getting. A lot of the bad or mediocre reviews are complaints about the stickiness (well, natural saps/waxes are sticky by nature, unlike synthetic gum), weak flavor (well, it's not an artificial "fake" flavor attached to the gum base), and poor flavor (expectation of synthetic flavors like cinnamon, mint, etc. vs natural flavoring are not the same). However, I knew this going in, and I find the flavors very accurate. Natural bases also never really hold the flavor long (think Toms or Dr. Bonner toothpaste) and natural flavors are never a "Punchy" as artificial ones, that's just how it is if you want a "Natural" product. As long as you don't have the expectation this gum will feel and taste like the fake stuff, you can appreciate how good this really is. I love being able to pop a piece in and get my flavor and oral fixation "fix" and the 15 minutes or so the flavor lasts is very adequate. Sure it's sticky, but it's natural and if swallowed accidentally is of no concern. If you are looking for that strong "punchy" flavor gum, this isn't it, but if you want a very smooth, subtle, and ACCURATE flavor of coffee, fennel (one of my favorites), ginger, and cinnamon, then this is great to have on your desk for a quick chew. Just remember, we are conditioned to think the artificial gums and flavor are accurate when in reality, nothing natural tastes like like that. If you keep this in mind, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by this gum. Love it!

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.

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.

When I gave up smoking 6+ years ago, I turned to the constant daily chewing of sugarless gum as a way to keep my mouth busy. Over this period, I have had several digestive issues that have led me to make several changes to my diet. Most recently, I decided to remove all artificial sweeteners from my life. I did some research, and Simply Gum looked like the best candidate for a healthier replacement to the Dentyne Ice I had been chewing. I received the box in the mail yesterday (you would swear from the packaging that this is the new and exciting iGum from Apple! It's sharp, actually), and I've already tried all the flavors. And the flavors are ALL good. The problem is that they do not last. I've timed it. You honestly get about 20-30 seconds of decently strong flavor. Keep in mind that I am not making a comparison to the Dentyne product. The flavor just dissipates extremely quickly. Somehow the ginger flavor seems to last the longest; the flavor was still vaguely present after five minutes of chewing). With this particular sampler, you're looking at about $0.17/piece. Now, if your gum budget is a lot higher than mine, and you won't mind pinching a new piece every 2-3 minutes, then you should definitely go for it. Overall, the product's a really nice effort, and the ultra-clean formulation is a major upside. So, too, is the eco-friendliness of the packaging and the product itself. They even include "post-chew wraps" for disposing of your gum. If you're someone who enjoys a piece of gum now and then, then this product will absolutely seem to you to be a gourmet treat. If, on the other hand, you're like me and you want to gnaw relentlessly on a flavorful piece of gum all day long, this may not do it for ya. Still, I will probably buy it again because gum is better than no gum and I don't want to deal with aspartame or sugar alcohols.

Because its natural gum, some flavors such as the "Maple Syrup" gets soft and mushy after chewing it for awhile. Very tasty and natural, but that flavor doesnt last as long as some of the other flavors. All in all, a healthier alternative to regular gum. P.S..... As soon as you feel it starting to get mushy, spit it out on a busy sidewalk, or better yet, rub it into the hair of somebody you dont like. Once this mush gets on you, it is a pain to wipe off. Otherwise, still bettur then fake "gum" anyday.

The flavors are subtle but distinct. There color is not attractive but that is fine, they all look the same brownish gray. I real like the maple, coffee and fennel. The chew is soft enough. Flavor lasts about average length. I have bought more.

The ONLY good flavor is Peppermint. Ginger was tolerable, Cinnamon was less appealing, Maple tasted terrible, Coffee tasted like coffee, and the plant that I forget the name of tasted the worst. Peppermint is the way to go.

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

soft chew and surprisingly not sticking to dental work excellent, real flavours that last

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
