What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the gum aisle or at the checkout—small, colorful packs meant for on-the-go breath-freshening during commutes, school days, or road trips. It feels like a nostalgic, sugar-free swap for classic fruity gum: chewy, long-lasting and marketed as a 'healthier' mint with fruit vibes. The ingredient list (gum base, xylitol, glycerol, natural flavours and concentrated vegetable colours) signals heavy industrial processing that gives the rubbery texture and shelf stability typical of ultra-processed confections.
