Reviews mention

  • Natural, vegan ingredient list
  • Elegant, minimalist packaging design
  • Creative, distinctive flavor lineup
  • Included disposable wrapping papers
  • Short-lived flavor longevity
  • Odd, sticky chewing texture
  • Small, unsatisfying pellet size
  • Limited breath-freshening efficacy

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.

  • Simply gum… not fun :( was not a fan of the taste. Maybe I’m used to the sugar, but it was definitely interesting experience. Would probably not try again

    Consumer
  • I want to like this so much I can't express it. The packaging is cool, its more expensive than regular gum, it is at fancy grocery stores. Everything I love. That being said the flavor is just not exploding its sorta quiet and maybe that is cool for you but I want my mouth to be on fire so I just need something stronger.

  • I like the mint flavor. Doesn't last a long time, but it does have clean ingredients.

  • I start out so many of my review this way, but I really did want to like this gum. And while I love the fun flavors and am obsessed with sustainability of the company, the gum flavor just doesn't stay for very long. Which is maybe for the best, but I just feel like I go through a pack in a couple days because of it. I'll still keep buying because I want to support the brand, but it's somewhat disappointing.

    I don't know if it's possible to make the flavor last longer when you're using natural flavors exclusively, but if you can, please do!

  • Wanted to love this gum but the flavor is super strong at first and then gone within a few moments. Also, the size and texture of the gum was a bit off for me. Tried the cinnamon and mint flavors.

    Reformulate the flavors so that they last longer

  • Love the idea but all of the flavors I've tried taste super chalky and get really hard after a few minutes. Can't say I'd buy them again.

  • Cinnamon - yes. Ginger - no. The flavors are very similar to the actual flavors--which is what I guess makes it good. If you like whatever flavor you're getting, you'll like the gum.

  • Not a huge fan of the flavors. I've tried the peppermint and ginger flavors. I love the concept, but I don't find it to be an enjoyable piece of gum. It does help with bad breath though. There are also sugar free options which is nice for anyone who is interested in that.

    The taste isn't like your typical gum as they are using all natural ingredients. Love what the brand is doing and what they stand for.

  • I like the flavors of gum, but they seem to fall apart in my mouth really quickly. The individual pieces are also really small compared to a regular stick of gum, so I usually pop 2-3 into my mouth at once.

  • I like the idea behind this and the packaging is great

    Flavor doesn’t last long for me personally (cinnamon variety)

  • Oh man, I really wanted to like this- I love the idea of a gum with simple ingredients, but it just doesn't work. The flavor is gone in like 30 seconds, and it kept on getting stuck to my molars.

  • Some flavors are better than others. Chew doesn't last long, nor does the flavor, but it's really nice packaging and easy to carry. Love the ginger!

  • Picked this up at my local Target and wasn't impressed with it! They are very tiny pieces and the flavor doesn't last very long.

  • I love the idea of a natural gum and give it stars for innovation. Unfortunately, both the flavor and texture were awful to me. I'm not normally put off by texture but this was falling apart in my mouth. I tried the grapefruit one which didn't taste anything like grapefruit (even considering it's a natural flavor) and didn't last. After 2 tries I did throw the box away. Perhaps the coffee or maple flavors would do better with the taste that the natural gum ingredient already carries.

    Needs stronger flavors, better texture

  • I was not a fan of this gum, though the flavor ideas seemed nice it lacked much real depth. The gum was stringy and didn't hold shape for long.

  • cute packaging but there is practically 0 flavor after a minute !

  • Hard to chew, some flavors are better than others. I like the post chewing wrappers.

    Feedback

    Better and longer lasting flavors.
