With all that off my chest, the balance of sweet and refreshing is lovely and the stick is, indeed, long-lasting, so it doesn’t get an F like I did on a physics final in high school. This new, “refreshingly long lasting” Trident isn’t bad, though, but the peppermint is a lot stronger, which detracts from the brand’s signature sweetness that I enjoyed oh-so-much. I can't believe Trident is still marketing its gum as “original flavor.” I believe it was 2017 when the recipe and packaging were altered to accommodate a more modern consumer. This was no bueno since I didn’t have Advil on standby. The flavor lasted long, though, but after 30 minutes of enjoying its concentrated peppermint taste, I actually developed a headache. This gum felt the most substantial in texture, almost like a chewing tobacco, but then it took a quick detour and became quite flimsy. That said, it had a very pleasant mouthfeel and seemed to clean my teeth and gums as I chewed it. This was particularly weird since I’ve heard that the brand is one of the longest-lasting gums on the market. I suppose that everyone’s biochemistry is different, but PUR just didn’t last in the flavor department. It’s something I would 100% chew on if I was in desperate need of a quick refresh, but it wouldn’t be a daily go-to like Sabra hummus or my list of reasons why I’m not going to the gym. Mentos obviously gets bonus points for boasting a gel center with green tea extract, but the flavor was almost peppery and dissipated quicker than all of the options on this list. And if you’re tall, dark and handsome with a robust finance portfolio and plenty of disposable income, feel free to kiss me because my breath is the most minty fresh it’s been in ages. So, in the spirit of the holidays, I figured peppermint gum would not only be the next best thing to Christmas’ red-and-white signature treat, but also a very helpful guide for anyone who smacks on a stick or pellet daily and is in search of an upgrade (or bragging rights for already picking the best of what grocery stores have to offer).Ĭheck out my final ranking below.
