Favorite chewing gum

It is not only a gum, it's savoir vivre

Last week in Tunisia I couldn't get my favorite chewing gum: Hollywood Chlorophyll - so I went for its co-brand: Hollywood Menthol. Tastes great, too. Unfortunately, either of them is not available in Germany.

So what is the most exotic chewing gum you ever had? Do you get your favorite gum here in Germany?

Lakerol Lakritz flavour from Scandanvia... yummy!

I also like all those fruit flavours, especially the berry flavours from Trident or Dentyne. rolleyes.gif

Not a fan of any mint flavours though.

You`ve been reading too much Calvin and Hobbes haven`t you, you silly boy. Chewing-gum indeed. blink.gif

cinamon, cinneminom, cinemon - ZIMT for crying out loud. Why don't they sell it here sad.gif
sea-king
Yes they do, it`s called Big Red. blink.gif

Beemans, Black Jack and Clove was my favorite growing up. Haven't really seen it in a while. blink.gif

big red - pretty mild stuff. I want the variety, the stuff that crackles in your mouth or has jelly stuff inside, or even a sugar-free variety...

I dont think they do crouqant-condoms, not yet.! blink.gif

I got some cinnamon oil if you want some spiced toothpicks! It will burn up your tongue though! tongue.gif

cinnamon tooth picks! Those were soo cool in Junior high! (They even banned them - it was such a rough school rolleyes.gif that was the biggest worry that year)

I don't really chew gum. Not a habit of mine. If ever do though, it has to be peppermint and if poss, sugar free. I prefer the strips to the small sugar-coated tablets.

Reasons not to chew gum..! smile.gif

An Englishman is having breakfast one morning (coffee, croissants,
bread, butter and jam) when a Frenchman, chewing bubble-gum, sits down
next to him. The Englishman ignores the Frenchman who, nevertheless,
starts a conversation.

Frenchman: "You English folk eat the whole bread??"

Englishman (in a bad mood): "Of course."

Frenchman: (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. In France , we only
eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it,
transform them into croissants and sell them to Britain ." The Frenchman
has a smirk on his face.

The Englishman listens in silence.

The Frenchman persists: "Do you eat jam with the bread??"

Englishman: "Of Course."

Frenchman: (cracking his bubble-gum between his teeth and chuckling).

"We don't. In France we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all
the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform
them into jam and sell the jam to Britain."

After a moment of silence, The Englishman then asks: "Do you have sex in
France ?"

Frenchman: "Why of course we do", he says with a big smirk.

Englishman: "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"

Frenchman: "We throw them away, of course."

Englishman: "We don't. In Britain, we put them in a container, recycle
them, melt them down into bubble-gum and sell them to France."

*COME ON ENGLAND!!!*

I used to work at a candy store a few years back and we had all three for purchase. All the older people (and by older I mean older than me who used to chew this gum, I dont mean geriatric) would get so excited to see it and would snatch it up right away. I am sure if you looked on the internet you could buy some.

Why chew when you can get those melt on the toungue minty strips? far less effort...

havn't seen them on sale anywhere but the UK, and I've got around a bit in the last year!

My personal favorite is Freshen Up Spearmint. Hard to find though. If anyone's seen it here in Munich let me know.

They also have those strips there, I think its Extra that makes it... Wrigleys has a hold on the German Market (something like 90%) and all they have is Mint gums, god I hate mint! And they cannot keep Big Red in Stock.
I always buy Trident in Switzerland, and its sugar free.

Bubalicious regular. Mmmmmmmmm

otherwise cinammon or trident original

I forget the name..possibly Fruit Stripes. Pink package with a zebra on them. Flavor only last about 20 seconds so you have throw them in one after the other.
Pirulero
also fun in the same way, those strawberry bubblegum "tape" rolls, get a whole one in ur mouth and chew like a hamster...

or those weird pink kids chewing gums, great at first but leave a weeeeeird after-taste, all part of the fun...

biggrin.gif I loved that gum too as a kid. You could easily eat an entire pack in an hour.

My favourite gum is Dentyne Fire. I always make sure to bring lots back with me when I visit home.

I saw this weird-ass chewing gum in a shop so decided to buy some and try it out.

Wrigley's Airwaves Active (Menthol and fruit flavour, with guarana, green tea, cola nut extract). Each piece has 5mg of caffeine!

It's strangely nice once you get past the initial flavour explosion.
