How Long For You??

I'm sitting here thinking about the pack of gum that I'm just about to open. I am trying to keep it down to 2 sticks a day, but it runs out of flavor so fast that it's easy to go through twice that many sticks. I really like the flavor... it's Sweet Watermelon by Extra but I wish that I could keep it a few hours. I wonder what the average time is. And yes, I know that I could google it, but I'd rather ask someone I know, not some random person. And, I guess I should ask... what brand of gum keeps it's flavor the longest? With my luck it will probably be cinnamon. Tried a couple of brands, but the flavor is way too intense. I would love one stick that I could make last as long as a cup of coffee!! My husband says that I should win an award for that!! ;)

I'm a gum chewer at times, but nothing seems to last very long. Cinnamon gum burns my mouth.

I know what you mean... I wish that someone would come up with a flavor that is milder!!

I couldn't tell you. By your title, I thought this might be a discussion about how long it's been since you've chewed gum. For me it's been a long time. Actually, I can tell you when. I chewed gum last July when on a vacation with friends. Yep, that long ago. I don't know which brand seems to last the longest as it's been so long.

@Hate2Iron I hope you can find an alternative. What about 5 gum? That seems to be a popular brand.

I prefer fragrant candy than gum.

I don't chew gum so I really can't answer your question.
