Some more weird gum has surfaced recently (previous weird gum here and here):
The BBC reports on a chewing gum that can enhance breasts. B2Up says its Bust-Up gum when chewed three or four times a day, can also help improve circulation, reduce stress and fight aging. I don’t care what other benefits it has, if its claim to fame is that it enhances breast size, I, as a male, will not be chewing it.
According to New Scientist, a Japanese company has produced both rose and vanilla flavored gum and candies that when chewed/eaten causes the body to begin secreting the smells 30 minutes after being eaten. The “smells” last for at most 6 hours. The article was written in September 2005…I wonder if this gum has hit the market yet? Aha - it has - you can get it at JList. Funny though, they don’t mention anything about the “smell”.
And…for even more weird gum ideas, visit the gum section of halfbakery.com. It’s a bunch of ideas for gum, not actual products, but some of them are weird. Water-flavored Gum, Mayonaisse Gum, and Vinegar Tendons. Ewwww.

I just tried some weird gum…Wrigley’s Doublemint Kona Creme (actually I’m chewing some right now). I live in Idaho, and I purchased it at 7-11. It’s weird. It’s very sweet, and the coffee flavor is weak. I can detect some sort of slightly chemically taste, perhaps the gum base?
I just have to say, I love 7-11; they seem to be the only store around here that stocks unique candies and gum.

March 30th, 2006 at 9:13 pmKona Creme is sold a WAWA near where I work. I work midnight shift and it is the perfect gum from my-coworkers and I. When you can’t get up for that cup of coffee you can always bust out the gum. It’s like the best of both worlds.
April 5th, 2006 at 6:05 pmRob, waht wawa?? i live near Philly!! I’d love to try some!
April 26th, 2006 at 1:50 pmI found some at a Walgreen’s in Orlando in September. I have since returned home to the Detroit area and have not been able to find this ANYWHERE! I really liked it and hope to find some again.
November 28th, 2006 at 5:47 pmWrigleys Kona Kreme gum is AWESOME. I purchased some over New Years weekend in Seattle WA. at a Walgreens store. I have yet to find anymore. I am desperate!!!! This is the first gum I have chewed that actually holds its flavor almost all day. It doesn’t turn rubbery; it stays soft and lasts. I have TERRIBLE dental problems and cannot chew gum very well and this is the first time that I have been able to chew gum in a long time. PLEASE DON’T GET RID OF THIS!! On the contrary, please make sure that it stays in the stores. I shared it with several of my friends and we all love it. I would love to know where to get more!! Thanks Susie

March 12th, 2007 at 12:29 pmYou can get Kona creme gum for really cheap at a website I found. They don\’t have a limited stock so you don\’t have to be worried about it going away.
