I feel exactly the same way. The addition of artificial sweetners makes it taste worse as well. I don't understand how they could be so stupid. I think the only thing we can do is make sure to NOT BUY THIS STUFF. Once sales go down, maybe they'll get a clue and change it back. Please let us know what else we can do. Cindy,

I look in every store I go into, but they have all switched. Has anyone found an alternative to our beloved Wrigley's? It's so hard to find gum without artificial sweetners. :( I am so glad I’m not the only one that thinks the new formula is terrible. I look in every store I go into, but they have all switched.

I absolutely DO NOT LIKE the "new & improved flavor". Wrigley's has been around as long as I can remember and I am 41 years old. I've been chewing the stuff since I was about 3 years old. I love the "original" spearmint and doublemint and miss them terribly. I chew gum every single day! Now I have to find something new and more expensive. Why mess with a good thing????

I tried several pieces and then tossed out the rest. I will try Chicklets, thanks for the suggestion. I am really disappointed in the new “improved” Wrigleys spearmint gum.

Allergy for 15 years with body itching and hives. I have tried to buy up all the original spearmint before the "new and improved" label.I found some of the old spearmint in GA and TN rest stop candy dispensers. No I didn't drive from state to state looking for gum. I just happened to stop at some during my Thanksgiving driving. The old gum had no color. Why do you need yellow color anyway? If anyone knows where to buy the old please advise. I don't like the other flavors and have a allergy to the cinnamon gum also.

I called there 1-800-974-4539 number yesterday to ask why and if they plan on changing their doublemint flavor back to the old wonderful flavor and texture that it once use to be. I was told NO and that since March 2008 wrigley's had not plans on returning to the old wonderful taste (well they did not admit that anything was wrong with the new taste). Well I will never buy any of the companies gum again. Just like Coke a Cola, they changed the way they were making their soda, but after enough Americans complained they changed it back. I really wish there was some other gum out there that could satisfy me like wrigley's doublemint once did. I feel like a crack addict. HELP I am so disappointed with Wrigley’s!

I've never tried 5 gum...actually, I'd never heard of it until a few days ago right here on Candy Addict. I'll look for it (and those Chiclets) and see what I think. Do I smell another review?
