What You Should Know

You'll spot this in the gum and candy aisle or at the checkout — a bright, kid-focused pack that evokes childhood bubblegum nostalgia but with a modern sugar-free twist. It feels playful and indulgent, promising long-lasting chew and intense candy flavors while also positioning itself as a 'healthier' alternative because it uses xylitol instead of sugar. The ingredient list (gum base, polyols, flavorings, acids and color concentrates) and the engineered texture and flavor longevity point to an ultra-processed confection rather than a minimally processed snack.
