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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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.

Simply Gum is so easy to chew with all the wonderful ingredients the products includes in the fun product. I've tried everything from the gum to mints, on my desk and car is a must! The post chew wraps added to the packaging are so adorable!!

The flavor does not last long but I still enjoy Simply Gum :)

Ah this wasn’t for me. I really wanted to like this but the gum had flavor for all of 30 seconds and then it was gone. I also didn’t like the consistency. They do give you wrappers to dispose of the gum. Really wasn’t into it. The gum also is an odd texture as well and doesn’t look totally like a standard piece of gum.

Product development should get back to the drawing board on this one.

Can't say I love this gum (the mints are fine). It feels like you are chewing on a piece of bark (both in flavor and consistency), it loses flavor almost instantly, and doesn't give you the minty fresh feeling you'd want from a piece of gum. They've been sitting in our drawer for months as we stock up on Trident...

It’s just okay. It’s not the best or the worst. It could be the flavor I got too. The grapefruit is just so sour and the texture of the gum is not super pleasant. It’s also a super small piece and doesn’t feel like I’m chewing much. The gum it’s self doesn’t last super long but it does the job of getting rid of any left over drink or food taste in my mouth.

Not as strong flavoring, bigger pieces that last longer.

Good ingredients but extremely sticky. Do not get it on your hands ; you will regret it. it took me over 15 minutes to get it off..

Flavor is average. Appreciate the ingredients and that they avoid harmful ingredients like Aspartame etc. However the packaging is a total scam, they have a second layer at the bottom which I think is not even legal im the EU. As a loyal customer who just recently found about this I feel totally scammed and will stop buying from this brand.

Simply Gum's taste was good upon first chewing it (I bought the Ginger). However, I have never experienced gum that both disintegrated and stuck to every surface of my teeth at the same time. Thank god I don't have braces or dental work! As it was, I sat in my car trying to pick it out before an important meeting.

Definitely the texture of the gum and the staying power. I'd add an "improved texture" or "doesn't stick" to the packaging. Use something different than "chicle" to keep the gum together. Have you ever bought chicle in Mexico? Same thing. There must be another alternative...rubber is a plant?

I love the gum I’ve tried and the mints, the only thing that stinks is that it’s hard to fine locally.

Simply Gum has a great concept—natural ingredients, no artificial sweeteners, and eco-friendly packaging. I really appreciate the clean approach, but the flavor doesn’t last very long, and the texture gets tough quickly. It’s a nice option if you’re avoiding synthetic ingredients, but not the most satisfying chew. Three stars for effort and clean ingredients, but room to improve.
I love the cinnamon taste! Though as I was chewing the gum it really started dissolving. It is a good gum for you and I love the packaging and the vibe it gives off as you see it on the shelf at the grocery store. Just my personal experience 🤷🏻♀️😉
Purchased from Whole Foods and Starbucks and it's your standard gum, but I feel a little better given the ingredients are less artificial. The packaging is minimal and sleek and the flavor lasts a decent amount of time—about 20 minutes. I would buy again and look for new flavors.
This gum literally does not hold any flavor, and it’s a really cool idea to make vegan gum but I just wish the mint flavor didn’t go away after 20 seconds.
I love the idea of a chewing gum made with more natural ingredients but after trying every flavor of this I’m not a fan. It takes multiple pieces to even semi resemble the chew of a single stick of “unnatural gum” and you can forget about blowing bubbles because its simply not possible. The gum also becomes extremely hard to chew and loses all flavor almost immediately. The packaging is nice looking but if I had the option of no gum or this gum I would probably just go without.
I think I am too used to the tridents of the world, but simply gum does not taste good and it sticks to my teeth.

Make it less sticky?
The flavors are really unique and the branding is lovely, the gum has a different mouthfeel than most, which likely comes from the natural ingredients. It's by no means my *favorite* gum brand, but I like it enough!
I really enjoyed the flavors of this gum, but it doesn't have the same consistency of regular gum. It's not as chewy and doesn't last as long
