Wrigley's Doublemint Perfectly Sweet Gum, 12 Piece (10 Packs)

It is in fact perfectly sweet. I chew a lot of Doublemint and it grosses out my wife how much I do in fact like my gum. I have always been drawn to Doublemint, but even I had to ask: what is all of this extra stuff in my "sugar gum"? I find this Doublemint to be less chemically sweet than normal Doublemint and the mint to be milder. It is a pleasant chew, soft and less a punch to the mouth without over sweetness and artificial mint. I do not chew gum long, so I can not speak to chewing this for long periods of time. If I was to time myself, I probably chew a stick for about 15-20 minutes on average. My coworker will work a piece of gum until, in his words, it has "gone liquid". If that sounds like you, I don't know if this gum would hold up that long. Perfectly Sweet Doublemint is made in France, clearly marked on the side of the package.

This has been a life saver for me - chewing gum helps to relieve some of my allergy symptoms, so I chew gum frequently.Doublemint was my go-to gum before they added Aspertame, which I'm a bit reactive/allergic to, so I was really disappointed when I was no longer able to find naturally sweetened Doublemint - I was stuck chewing old-school pink bubble gum, which I hate.Found Perfectly Sweet while I was searching for an alternative, and I haven't looked back.Some reviews mention a bitter taste, and I have experienced it occassionally - not sure if it is due to something I ate or drank earlier, but the bitter taste doesn't last very long for me.

I gave this 3 stars because it is Wrigley's and they are trying to do a natural gum, so that is great and appreciative for their efforts. I have had regular Wrigley's stick gum in the past. But I haven't chewed gum in many years. This is the first non-artificial gum I bought to chew some gum again, here and there.Pro ~ Instant mint flavor that does freshen your brush instantly; just chew quickly and toss...Con ~ ...but then make sure to spit it out about 30 seconds later just before the full flavor goes away. I already had about five pieces over the week since I got this so I can make an accurate conclusion. But I don't like it overall if it stays in your mouth the moment the flavor runs out. This gum isn't meant to be used for just chewing and for something to do. It is only for instant fresh breath. The gum texture is unusual and it isn't for me. It doesn't hold its shape in your mouth as a chew gum like traditional gum. Can't exactly describe it. But that isn't just it. I didn't expect this to occur. There is a gritty feeling to my teeth afterwards the times I over chewed this gum. Then I am thinking... is that the sugar adhering to my teeth? Not sure.I will try Wrigley's natural gum again only when they have tried to improve it and the package says "new and improved flavor" so I know that is what happened.UPDATE 7/22/18: Because I didn't want to waste the pack I bought, I ended up getting used to this gum. I like the flavor a lot, but I don't keep it in my mouth when the flavor begins to run out. It is great to have the instant fresh breath. I'm not sure if any sugar is adhering to my teeth or not, but I brush well anyways. I am getting this again. I increased my rating by one more star.

Just sweet gum! The other Doublemint gum has artificial sweeteners in it and really just not taste good after the initial sugar is gone. This gum, with real sugar is great!! The flavor fades a little faster but I don't get that flavor from this gum that I really dislike. It is kind of hard to find this one in stores so I will keep ordering it to ensure I always have gum I truly enjoy and so do my grandkids, I always has gum for them!

I love that this gum doesn't have artificial sweetners in it. However, after about 5 minutes it loses it flavor and has a slightly bitter aftertaste so it feels like a huge wad of rubber after those first 5 minutes are up.

Finally! I was searching for a gum with no artificial sweeteners or aspartame (poison). Good luck finding anything nowadays at the store that doesn’t contain some form of that stuff but this gum is great. Good ‘ol Wrigley’s how it used to be as a kid. Doesn’t upset my stomach like all the other “sugar free” gums. Hope they restock soon!

If you expect this to be like the pre 2003 Doublemint gum that used no artificial sweeteners you will be disappointed.The texture is rubbery, there is not a lot of mint flavor and, as others have observed, there is a bitter aftertaste.The label says it is made in France for the Wm. Wrigley, Jr. Company (which is now owned by Mars). The EU has denied copyright to the name Doublemint, but if this is made for Wrigley that shouldn’t matter. If the Wrigley Company approved the formula they don’t seem to be concerned to achieve the flavor they produced in the past. The listed ingredients are sugar, gum base, natural flavors, glycerol, soy lecithin and tocopherals.I wondered about all those 5 star ratings and went back an had a look. None of those reviews comment on the bitterness after chewing it for several minutes so I am wondering if those of us giving it low ratings got the same product. Maybe it is just different taste buds.

It's great that this has sugar, however, there must be something in here that leaves a bitter after taste. I have not investigated all of the ingredients but something is off. It's sad that the gum flavors and recipes from years ago are no longer being used. Instead we just get cheap chemicals in our food supply.
