Dentyne Blast ChocoMint Sugar Free Gum

By: Tanya Patrice | Jul 4, 2008

Dentyne Blast ChocoMint Sugar Free Gum is the first chewing gum I have seen that attempts the ambitious combination of both chocolate and mint - and in a sugar-free gum. I was skeptical that this would have a positive outcome, yet I was hoping for the best because I know lots of chocolate fiends who would buy this in bulk if it turned out well. So, despite my personal objection to spending more money on a 9-pack of this compared to a 12-pack of Dentyne Ice, I went ahead and got it so I could do a review for the good of all chocolate fiends out there!

I first broke it apart do I could report on the appearance at Food-Notes.com - it was not gushing chocolate from the middle as seen on the package. Next, I threw it in my mouth and smiled in surprise as I chewed away and experience a nicely balanced chocolate flavor that was not too overpowering for a gum base. Mint also showed a strong presence, but it was all about the chocolate for the first 5-10 minutes. Gradually, the chocolate flavor diminished to almost nothing and the mint taste got stronger. I was quite pleased with the flavor combination, and the gum was quite long lasting. Hopefully we will start seeing more exotic flavored gums on the market.

Wrigley's Eclipse Cherry Chill Sugarfree Gum

By: Tanya Patrice | Feb 23, 2005

Can gum have a 'bad' bad? What could possibly be the criteria used to review gum? Well, you have the "bubble blow-a-bility" and then there is the "length of freshness" and the "how many pieces do you need to chew to make it worthwhile." So you see, a lot can go into reviewing chewing gum! With that in mind, the best thing about Eclipse Cherry Chill was the fact that you got a pleasant cooling sensation when you first put this gum in your mouth. This is a side effect of using sugar alcohols instead of sugar. The worst thing about this gum is the fact that chewing one piece is not really enough. You need two pieces to blow a really nice bubble.
