I rarely chew gum anymore. I used to be addicted to those sports gums that tasted like Gatorade and make you salivate profusely.

My new favorite is Trident Melon Twist, although I've been meaning to try that Extra Cool Watermelon. Does it taste sour at all?

I just can't get into green-apple flavored candy or gum, even though I love the real thing.

I try not to chew gum in public because it's one of those nervous habits I get way too far off into. My chomping becomes a very accurate barometer of my level of concentration or stress.
I do like the Walgreen's sugar-free mints (wintergreen flavor) in the metal tin. The tin is exactly the right size to fit in the change pocket of a pair of jeans.

I actually never chew gum. First of all it would put my jaw muscles into cramps and then the flavour disappears so fast. *pouts*

We don't have (easily at least) cinnamon gums in France, so when I go abroad I pack my pockets with those!

I hate gum. I hate to have the scent of mint in my mouth. That's why I also brush my teeth with the awesome Dutch toothpaste Parodontax, which tastes of SALT instead of MINT. I gag if I put mint toothpaste in my mouth now. But we were talking about gum.

I guess it's also that I just think it looks really rotten to see someone chew gum, especially with their mouths open. But by far it's the mint. Brrrr, mint.

I have an oral fixation, if I'm not eating or drinking I'm always chewing gum.

I like Wrigley's Extra peppermint sugarfree gum.

I buy it in bulk, in boxes of 30 packets at a time.

Same here, I never saw a point in chewing gum, the flavour is completely gone after 5 minutes.

I hate to see people chewing, so I'd never do it myself. We're humans for god's sake, not cows. Watching girls chew gum is one of my biggest turnoffs, right along with smoking or having a moustache. It's such a disgusting sight.

I don't chew gum - years ago I realized that whenever I did, I'd have the same piece in my mouth 4 hours later, still chewing, with the taste long gone, but I'd forget to throw it away.

I love chewing gum, but I somehow always forget to buy large amounts of it when I go shopping, so I've been deprived of this pleasure since I moved into my own appartment, more or less, with the exception of the occasional event of BoyToy remembering we both like gum.

Honestly, though, I could spend all my waking hours with the stuff. I like Wrigley's spearmint most, I think, but I can't see myself turning down any realistic flavour of any brand if offered.

Very occasionally. But never apple; that particular synthetic flavour tastes vile to me .
