Tree Hugger Mini Sticks Real Rain Forest Chicle Gum Sweetened with 100% Tooth Friendly Xylitol Spearmint, Peppermint and Wintergreen, 14 Count, Variety Pack (3 Packs)

The petite size of the sticks reminds me of Orbit or Trident, but they used really high-quality chicle so the texture is more like the 20th-century Wrigley or Lotte gums sans sugar. The flavor isn't too intense but that's fine by me, much better for my heartburn. Though it needs to warm up a bit, once it softens up it stays soft for a surprisingly long time! Gotta love real chicle resin

I have Sjogrens and gum is too difficult to chew due to the extreme flavors, hurts my tongue. This product has the perfect balance for flavor and texture.

I like all three flavors and the variety. I haven't decided with flavor is my favorite yet. But I would like the price to come down for the 3-pack. It is a little pricey and I like the variety instead of having the same flavor all the time.Originally, I was chewing Wrigley's Doublemint Perfectly Sweet Gum. I loved the flavor, and that it was in stick form (with a wrapper). Then, they stopped selling it on Amazon. I missed the stick form and the flavor. I have tried Simply Gum (too small, pellets, tastes ok, and I feel I need to chew several); Pur (didn't really like it; plus, it had no wrapper); Glee (didn't really like; not great aftertaste; plus, it had no wrapper).Now I am trying Tree Hugger in these new flavors that are suppose to be in a stick form (and come in a little package with wrappers for carrying in my purse). So far, the closest thing to the Wrigley's. Awesome. Of the three flavors, so far I have tried the Peppermint and Wintergreen. The second one has more flavor, but both are very good regardless. And the flavor lasts, even longer than all the gums above (even the Wrigley's natural Perfectly Sweet gum).If my opinion changes as I still chew the rest of these, I will update this review.Glad I found a stick gum again (even though these sticks are mini, but still adequate).(But for some reason, the Wintergreen gum has stuck to one of my teeth in the back as I am chewing it. Hmmm...)

I assume that Big Dental isn't lying when they say that chewing sugar-free gum helps prevent dental cavities, so a few years ago, I tried to find sugar-free gum that I liked to help keep me away from my dentist's drill.My first purchase was a huge pack of a super-popular brand from a big membership warehouse and that was fine. I stuck with that gum like that for a year or so, but the more I dug into the gum world, the more I realized that I probably didn't want to be dosing myself with aspartame all day long (despite Big Gum's assertion that aspartame is 100% benign).So I went the other direction, found this Tree Hugger stuff, and bought a three-pack.The funny thing is that I'm here, writing a review over one year later because I just found a mostly-full pack remaining from the initial three-pack of Tree Hugger and that tells me that it was not a compelling chew for me.The more I reflect on it (and the more I think of the four pieces I just chewed at once), the more I recall the experience:- one or two sticks did almost nothing for me; I had to use three or more to feel like I was chewing gum- they are very firm sticks out of the wrapper, requiring a lot of effort to get to chewing- they don't taste very sweet to me- the four sticks I just chewed turned into a mostly tasteless blob after about five minutes of chewing, forcing me to dispose of itI'm looking at the sub-ratings available to me on this review page and I can't honestly say that it's the worst gum (since I've not tried every gum), but it definitely is pretty low in flavor, pretty low in value for money, and pretty low in longevity, so I rated it accordingly. I feel a little sad because I believe that the Tree Hugger folks are trying to provide a healthy/healthier alternative to the Big Gum junk that's out there; it's just not for me.So, if you're trying to find a healthy alternative to Big Gum and you have some extra cash, give this a try. It might suit your taste better than it did mine.FWIW, I've found a couple brands I do like better than this one. The first is sweetened with xylitol but incorporates wax into its gum base and comes in many different flavors and pocketable boxes for easy transport and bags for economy. The second is also sweetened with xylitol but doesn't disclose what makes up its gum base, so I kind of expect it contains some sort of plastic. Same box/bag options for that one.I mention this because I do wish that I could go pure chicle as the gum base, but Tree Hugger didn't work for me, so I'll keep looking for better alternatives, but for now the two brands mentioned above are good enough for me.(I don't want to name names, but if you buy the first, you may be gleeful and if you buy the second, you might think it's pure.)

I wanted a tooth-friendly gum with no aspartame. This gum is totally flavorless, I tried all three flavors but all of them are bland. I DO NOT recommend this gum not only because it loses flavor in less than five minutes but because it doesn't have much flavor, to begin with. Not to mention the price on these packs.

I was worried about the lack of flavor based on the reviews. This gum is great! Yes, the strong flavor goes away, but mint has not gone. I have terrible reflux and use peppermint gum all day long. Great product!

A nice alternative to the artificial sugars that are in a lot of the gums. I will buy this again.

Great Product!
