Can anyone recommend a chewing gum that doesn't have a jolt like a durn altoid?

and/or isn't sweet enough to give you diabetes?

Jeez, are we all chewing gum junkies now too?

I was fine with Old Stride; we didn't need "Stride 2.0."

7. All of which I saw for sale last week at CVS.
I didn't look to see if they were original-recipe or reformulations...because I hated them to begin with...but I'm assuming it's a rollout footprint-wide of a requested "premium classic" product so I might be worth a looksie for someone who wants them.

6. I love Spry gum
I can only find it at health food stores, though. Love the cinnamon, spearmint and green tea flavours.

10. Several of yall have mentioned Teaberry. I'm not familiar with it, but will look around in my area.

I'll try CVS first.

Vermont Country Store might be OK--if I have occasion to order some other stuff from them.
I can't see placing an Internet order just for gum. LOL

Edited to add: Also will try local health food stores. :hi:
