I also called Wrigley’s asking if the old formula spearmint gum was available to buy anywhere….no luck! I am 42 amd have chewed it since I was about 4… I bought one pac of the new & improved but will never buy another. Hopefully they will come back out with the old:(

I was one who was so sad to find that Wrigley’s changed its formula for their Spearmint gum. However I was in Germany last year and purchased the gum. It was the original flavor.

I too am really disappointed with the new formula. It leaves a TERRIBLE after taste in one’s mouth after it has been chewed for a few minutes. I will not be buying any gum manufactured by Wrigleys.

I hate the new wrigley’s too! gets nastier as you chew it ! They are trying to compete with all the other garbage gums out there that the new no mind consumers like with the artificial sweeteners in them ! Yes! they put sugars and aspartame in the stuff! I remember when the poptart was destryed some years ago. They called that an improvement by throwing the smucker’s name on it ! It’s just one more step towards the end of the world. LOL

Cindy,

Thanks for the article. 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.

[...] spearmint, but this Peppermint Spray from Orbit Mist was quite enjoyable. It had less heat than the new Wrigley’s Spearmint while retaining a strong peppermint flavor. It’s actually inspired me to want to chew more [...]

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. Has anyone found an alternative to our beloved Wrigley’s? It’s so hard to find gum without artificial sweetners. :(

I am in total agreement. 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????
