After last week’s Homemade Geyser (see video below), we’ve got a new adventure on the horizon: The Great Gum Escapade. Something has happened in the last decade with gum. I wasn’t really paying attention because I’ve never been much of a gum chewer, but somewhere along the way gum flavors got really sexy. Growing up in the 70’s, there were your basic flavors- mint, grape, orange and some kind of berry. But the checkout lane now has all of these groove-a-licious flavors and shapes and packaging. Names like “maui melon mint” and “berry pear-licious” and “Lush” and “Elixir” (what does it mean? I have to know!) So for our next mid-business-day adventure, we’re going to try all the new gums and see what we think. Stay tuned…

I like bubble gum! My favorite sweetner in gum is xylitol. Trident – My favorite has to be Trident bubble gum. The xylitol is actually good for my teeth and body.

I can’t wait…my jaw hurts already (I love chewing LOTS of gum at once).

I’m an AVID gum chewer… I would pretty much say I’m addicted, so I won’t ruin any of the flavors for ya… I’ll just wait and see what you think
