It is SOOOOO good. This is the tastiest gum I've ever had. The only thing I don't like is, there is a BURST of flavor and then it just disappears in about 3 minutes.

I think I'm addicted to the stuff! I bought a box of the 25 assorted flavors and two packs of the 10 Strawberry/Watermelon. It was difficult but I was able to make all 45 pieces last exactly two-weeks (average apx. 3/day). The lemon, orange, and fruit flavors don't last as long but they really make my mouth water. I spit the gum out after 10-15min. It gets kind of hard and loses its flavor by then. The Strawberry/Watermelon is a little harder at first but soon gets perfectly soft. The flavor also grew on me within a few pieces. Great stuff! I just had to chime in. I think I’m addicted to the stuff!

In order to fight in the lowest weight division possible for their bulk, often they will limit their intake of food and fluids the day before weigh-ins. The gum is virtually massless when consumed, whereas water is quite heavy. I wouldn't really recommend it for quenching post-workout thirst; it is much cheaper and probably healthier to drink some water or Pedialyte instead.

I bought the orange punch stuffy,and it is very good. It is hard at first, then a teensy sour, than sweet and thirst quenching, then chewy, then hard. About a 30 min. cyclye.

I even bought it regularly. I hadn't even thought about it in years until your review! I might have to try the Double Orange and see what I think. I've been a bit hooked on Stride gum for awhile since it outlasts my chewing attentiveness and that's a first in a gum for me!

I think that there were only two flavors back then: Orange and Lemon-Lime. I used to love quench gum when I was about 7. I think that there were only two flavors back then: Orange and Lemon-Lime.
