What You Should Know

You'd spot this jumbo xylitol gum in the candy aisle, at the checkout, or in a convenience-store grab-and-go bin — the kind of thing you tuck in a purse or pass around on road trips. The bright grape-bubblegum-watermelon mix and oversized format feel playful and nostalgic, promising a long-lasting chew rather than a 'natural' snack. The ingredient list (gum base, xylitol, glycerol, concentrated colours/flavours and acidulants) signals a highly industrialized texture and formula typical of ultra-processed confectionery.
