Simply Gum
2.9
Simply Gum earns polarized reviews: the brand delights fans with natural, vegan ingredients, eco-minded packaging, and inventive flavors like Ginger, Spearmint, Cinnamon, Grapefruit, and Maple, yet it frustrates many who find the flavor fleeting and the chew problematic. Reviews praise the clean formulation and included disposal papers, but cite tiny pieces, odd or sticky texture that can disintegrate or harden, and minimal breath-freshening power as persistent drawbacks.

This is not your average gum so to compare it to the mass market plastic stuff isn't really a fair comparison. Indeed the flavour does not last as long as other mass commercial brands, but to not being chewing on what is essentially plastic ill take this over that anyday. I also appreciate the little disposal papers they include in the large packets.

The consistency and subtle flavor of the gum actually makes this a better chew than most. I prefer the harder texture because I tend to figit with things and it helps me focus. The flavor is also nice and you can almost feel a menthol style sensation in the throat. Overall a nice experience besides the flavor going in and out. If I could I’d give it 4.5 stars.
Interesting product in the world of clean labeling. I always struggle with products that opt for sugar in their formulations and am not bought into the idea that alternative sweeteners are inferior to sugar. Do I want to chew on something with sugar that causes cavities or chew a xylitol gum that has been shown to fight cavities? For me, the answer is clear. So if I can pretend that I buy into the natural gum concept, I will say that I really liked the grapefruit flavor and the packaging. The flavor doesn’t last long and stringy bits of the gum can get stuck in my molars. Overall, if I bought into the proposition, these are fairly good. They have done a great job at formulating with these ingredients. The only problem? I don’t buy into eating sugar gum.
So, I should have know better when I bought this gum. You can’t expect regular tasting and acting gum from an all-natural gum—you just can’t. I like that it’s made with plant-based Xylitol because that makes it healthier than traditional gum. But the flavor doesn’t last long and it gets unbearably chew within a few minutes. It also gets really sticky, so good luck trying to take it out of your mouth with your fingers. And don’t even think about trying to blow a bubble—it’s not happening.

In their own words
Our founder, Caron, started Simply in 2014 after she discovered that regular chewing gum was made of a synthetic plastic base. She started making batches of gum in her apartment using a tree sap (chicle) base & sold the first Simply Gum products in stores throughout NYC. As Simply continues to expand, we bring our commitment to good ingredients, delicious taste, and beautiful packaging to the development of each of our new products.
