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.

  • There is a weird aftertaste-- that to be honest happens during the gum eating process.

    Feedback

    The taste.

  • This gum is really good considering that it doesn't have all the junk most mainstream chewing gum has in it. The grapefruit flavor does have many of the typical grapefruit flavors. The problem i noticed is that the texture gets odd after a bit of chewing.

    Feedback

    Texture and the wrappers for when finished chewing

  • The flavors are creative and taste good and I like that the box comes with little papers to wrap your used gum up in.

    Feedback

    The flavor only lasts for 5ish minutes, and the texture is very hard and unlike conventional gum. Chewing it kind of gave me a headache.

  • The packaging is nice but the flavor goes away in minutes

    Feedback

    The texture and the flavor could both be improved. It gets flavorless and hard to chew after a while

  • Pretty good taste, no artificial flavors or sweeteners is a plus

  • I tried the maple flavored gum and overall it tasted very good. There wasn’t much difference I noticed between this brand and other gum brands. Overall though they did have very good flavor and I think it would be worth trying the other flavors.

  • Love the mission and packaging but the flavors are so bad!! I had to throw it away :(

  • I love this product's mission and the packaging is among the nicest in its category. Taste and texture wise is where this product falls through though. The flavours are nice and original but fade away too quickly and you need to eat several pellets to achieve a decent mouthfeel.

    Feedback

    Awesome mission and packaging. Focus on improving flavour retention.

  • For being a vegan, more natural alternative to synthetic chemical-filled gums, I think Simply Gum does exactly what it says it will do. You cannot compare it to your Trident experience as its value proposition is to be cleaner, natural, and therefore healthier for you. Sure, the flavor doesn't last as long but I'd prefer that over a chemically fake minty taste any day.

    I love the clean packaging and aesthetic. The packaging can have actual pictures of what the flavor is on the cover because it *actually* contains those ingredients.

  • I bought this gum because I loved the packaging, but that's the only positive part of my experience with this product. The gum did not taste pleasant and the texture was very grainy. I had to throw out the rest of the pack because I didn't like chewing it at all.

    Feedback

    I would try this gum again if they improved the texture and taste.

  • Honestly one of the worst gums I’ve tried. The flavor lasted about 5 minutes before devolving into this flavorless, grainy mess in my mouth. I think it’s innovative packaging for sure to have the wrappers separate in the box, but the gum itself looks very unappealing rolling around in the box.

    Feedback

    I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone at this point. While the flavor was good, it didn’t last at all and the texture was gross after chewing for a little bit. The company itself has an interesting concept and I really enjoyed the packaging, so if they're able to improve the formulation of the gum I would give another chance.

  • Sticking to the classic mint gum. It was fun to try, but wouldn't necessarily buy or try again.

  • I did not like a lot of the flavors and also found that the flavor went away too fast.

    Feedback

    The flavor should stay for longer.
