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.

  • I like the concept and overall it wasn't awful bit the flavour disappeared quickly and so did the chewiness. Was hoping I could convert my kids but no luck. Probably not really who this is aimed at.

    Feedback

    I actually brighter and more fun packaging might attract a younger audience.

  • I really wanted to love these but unfortunately the flavor is gone in seconds :(

    Feedback

    longer flavor

  • I was drawn in by the packaging and simple ingredients, but this is simple the worse gum I've ever tried (I had the mint one). Like other reviewers have said, the flavor only lasts for a few minutes and then it tastes like you're chewing on cardboard.

  • Didn’t love the consistency of the product but the taste was very yummy. The pieces are also pretty small and do not last long.

  • This is tough to write, I LOVE that this is an all-natural brand BUT the flavor is just not there. The little tinge of flavor you get in the first few chews disappears quickly.

    Feedback

    I wish the flavor were a bit more potent and longer lasting.

  • Just okay. Not fan of the flavor or texture. I like the idea, but the product falls short. It is too soft and does not taste very minty. I don't know the longevity of it, because I spit it out right away. Not worth a try

  • I wanted to love this product. Lost its flavor rather quickly and expensive for gum. I'm hoping they can improve the product because I would definitely purchase on the regular.

  • Love their mission, love the flavors, love the packaging - I long for a better texture. They're great enough that you wish they'd have a longer lifespan before melting into goo.

    Texture gets goopy quick.

  • The flavor is great. The minimalist packaging is beautiful, functional and fun. My one complaint is the chewed gum is EXCEPTIONALLY STICKY!!! It gets stuck in between my teeth, and god-forbid you forget to use the supplied paper wrap (or fumble and miss the wrap) - getting the gum off your fingers, or car seat, or steering wheel, is near impossible! So spit wisely and this will be your new favorite gum (or glue).

    All my wrappers fell out in my purse. :(

  • I don't think this gum is for everyone, but it's a great product for the people that fall in their intended audience. Its clean and has very simple ingredients. Its great for people that want to go the all-natural route, but you won't love it if you expect it to act like regular gum

    Feedback

    the papers it comes with are cool, but not very useful.

  • I love the ginger flavor but the other flavors wear off quickly and aren’t always as described

    Feedback

    Longer lasting flavor

  • The gum tasted like pre-chewed when it comes to flavor. It did not last very long. I did appreciate that it was natural.

  • I love the ginger! This is perfect if you get Nausea . The gums is flavorful and nice packaging.

    Feedback

    Flavor doesn't last very long.

  • I appreciate the innovative packaging, but the flavor lasts less than a minute and the consistency becomes super sticky...

  • Feedback

    I'm going to keep this review succinct. No. Don't do it. This gum has a weird texture and the flavors don't last. Pass!

  • This is my go-to brand for gum. I don’t like the texture and processed taste of regular gum, so these are very appealing for me. The chew is almost elastic-y, though I think the flavor lasts longer than the pleasant chew. The ginger flavor is a favorite, because it works really well as a palate cleanser. I also really like how the package includes gum disposal paper.

    Feedback

    I wish the box stayed closed better. Sometimes the box will open in my purse and the gums spill out.

  • The gum feels papery and looses it taste quickly.

    Feedback

    I wish the flavor lasted longer.

  • The gum like kinda melts? Like it gets stuck on my teeth. I’d also don’t love the way it’s packaged. If we’re going to be provided papers for disposal, I’d just wrap the gun in paper.

    Feedback

    Work on the texture.

  • There are a few downsides to this gum but It doesn't provoke less stars. The flavors are amazing, low key but actually taste like the flavor advertised instead of an extract of some sort. They are hard to start off with but get really soft after a few chomps in. I will say they loose flavor a bit faster than I'd like kinda leaving the other ingredients to stand out and it gets a little peppery, but by then it's probably done it job and freshened my breath enough to spit it out. Its not a gobstopper. I also REALLY appreciate the little wrappers it comes with to put your gum in, it subconscious reminds me to spit it out instead of chewing it till my jaw hurts!

  • I tried the simple gum in maple and perhaps I was just surprised by the strong maple flavor but it wasn't what I expected of a gum. The maple was strong which is perfect for those who enjoy gum to be flavorful and in a non-standard flavor. The gum itself has great ingredients but as a result it yields the strong flavor to a rather unpleasant texture and taste after a short period of time.
