PUR Gum | Aspartame Free Chewing Gum | 100% Xylitol | Natural Pomegranate Mint Flavored Gum, 55 Pieces (Pack of 1)

Pur Gum is a routine order in our household. It has a great taste without sugar, a smooth white appearance, has great ingredients, non-sticky and is chewable until your jaws ache. In the morning it's the first thing out of the glove compartment for easing anxiety before meetings and long hours on the computer. After lunch, it's good for cleaning teeth and replacing sugary desserts. Over the many years of ordering, we have had only two packets that weren't as fresh as the others, but these are overlooked because such a small item like this brings such enjoyment.

My neighbor told me about PUR gum. Said he hasn't had a cavity since he has been chewing PUR and loves that there is no aspartame chemical in the gum!!!! I had been purchasing another sugar free brand for years. I like this. Good for my teeth and flavor is good. I like the larger packages that I can keep in my car or take some out of the larger bag and put them with my breath mints for ease of use. Since I deal with dry mouth and teach three days a week, I need to have a dependable means of keeping my mouth moist..

While we love the flavor of this product and that it’s sugar-free, have been reading about microplastics in the “gum base.” Will be glad to update and raise my review stars if this is not the case once this information is disclosed. I’ve also posted this question in the Q&A. Hope this product is plastic free!Update: Received a response a day later about microplastics and updated the stats accordingly to 5! The flavor and texture are great.Here’s the reply:“Thanks for your question! PUR Gum does not contain microplastics in its gum base. PUR uses a gum base that is aspartame-free, plastic-free, and made from natural ingredients. Their products are known for being: - Non-GMO - Gluten-free - Vegan - Naturally flavored and sweetened with xylitol If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help!

Just thought I'd try to review each flavor individually. But before I start, I have to say that in general, I think the mint flavors are best. They last the longest due to the cooling sensation, and do the best job freshening the breath. However, in general, the flavor doesn't last as long as sugared gum or aspartame/acesulfame K gum. I've not noticed any kind of G.I upset from chewing these, and I often chew several pieces a day. But I know some people can be sensitive to xylitol, so bear that in mind.As for the flavors:Cool mint- not a big fan of this one. It has a slightly bitter flavor to it, kind of like a cucumber mint taste. It lasts decently long.Spearmint- very tasty, very fresh, one of the longest lasting. It's one of my favorites.Wintermint- it's also long lasting, but has an aftertaste I'm not crazy about. To be fair, I'm not a big fan of wintermint flavor in most things. If you're a fan of wintermint, this might be for you.Peppermint- a strong, clean bite, very fresh and long lasting. It has a true-to-peppermint flavor. This is also a favorite.Pomegranate mint- this one is a surprise favorite, with the fruity flavor wonderfully complimenting the mint, which is lighter than the other mints. The pomegranate flavor is bright and strong, and lasts a decent amount of time. I have found that the flavor lasting time can vary from piece to piece, but I suppose that's to be expected.Bubblegum- I really want to like this one. The base bubblegum flavor is pretty good, but this flavor lasts the shortest time, and once the flavor is gone, it tastes kinda rubbery.Cinnamon- this one is pretty good. It's not a super strong cinnamon, but it definitely warms me up a bit and is as good for freshening breath as the mint ones. It's becoming one of my favorites, and easier to chew on a winter day 😉 It lasts decently long.Chocolate mint- I actually got this pack intending to try this one, as I'd had most of these before. And I'm glad I did. This one is surprisingly tasty, with a good full bodied chocolate flavor and a perfect hit of mint. Both flavors are well balanced, and when the chocolate disappears, the mint lingers. It lasts about as long as the pomegranate mint.So would I recommend these? Definitely, especially if you love chewing gum but don't want all the extra sugar. And buying them in bulk like this is pretty economical, as this bundle is much cheaper per pack than buying them in store. If you're new to Pur, I'd recommend starting with the mint flavors first. Happy chewing!

Xylitol good--actually prevents tooth decay (Canadian dental), and the flavors I've tried are delicious. Have used Spry brand in the past, becoming hard to get. This is a good substitute.

Some people were complaining about the price, but 55 pieces for $5 or less of a dry mouth gum is a decent deal. However... that's assuming each of those 55 pieces compare to a competitors on a 1:1 basis. They don't. The gum is extremely thin, so two pieces are about the equivalent of one piece from a competitor. So it's more like 27.5 pieces for $5 which drastically reduces it's value.The flavor is immensely lacking. You can tell it's there but its very faint. It doesn't have that "burst" factor either. The flavor also dies out quickly. The dry mouth aspect of the gum isn't that strong either.I typically just use ACT dry mouth gum, but decided to try a few different varieties to see if there was a cheaper value to be found. This is the first alternative I tried and I'm fairly confident it's going to be the worse of all of them.It's just hard to give this anything above 3 stars. It's not bad... it's just lacking so much compared to competitors. But if it didn't have the dry mouth factor I'd never consider buying this. The value for money, the longevity, the taste, the portion size, and the dry mouth factor are all subpar and lacking.There's just better options out there. I might find after testing all these alternatives that ACT was the best value after all.

Good taste, I chew gum for an hour or so and the taste lasts the entire time. The first time I chewed this gum I noticed a sensation as if the gum was bulky and rubbery. That lasted for a minute or so. It has been a few days, I put 2 squares in my mouth and that is all I need. I maybe used to it, but it no longer seems rubbery or bulky to me. I use this as a breath freshener after meals. This works perfectly.
