actually, the flavor of Juicy Fruit has changed, and not in a good way (in my opinion). It now has a slight hint of anise or black licorice which makes the overall effect just nasty. Oh well.

I try to see if I can chew wrigley gums about once every couple of years. I end up throwing away the rest. What I considered to be a classic is ruined. It was important to me even though it was “just gum”. They lost a customer. They changed what would be considered a “social icon”.

I want the old Wrigley’s gum back. I don’t like the new chemicals in the new gum. Anybody know where I can “STOCK UP” on some?

Coming from someone who grew up on the Winterfresh gum, a mild minty flavored gum that lasted a decent amount of time, Mars has completely botched the “improved” flavor. It actually tastes like they added menthol to the recipe, which completely overpowers any other flavor that used to be in the gum. It would be a more appropriate product for Vick’s Vapo-Rub than Wrigley.

[...] had careened downhill and crashed into a muddy, mucky river. I wrote a review of it and a review of Wrigley’s other “improved” flavors. Since then I’ve been on a search to find a spearmint gum that matches my expectations of a [...]

I used Wrigley’s spearmint to quit smoking 2 years ago, it was quite a shock to see the new and improved spearmint gum, the taste is not nearly as good and one point I have noticed is that the new stuff sticks to dental work a lot more than the old stuff, I have purchased all the old kind I could find, but now whatever you run across is getting to me kinda stale due to age, so one of my little pleasures in life has been taken away :-(

There is an old saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” I think they could have taken a lesson from Coke back when they tried to “improve” the flavor, it was not long before they went back to the “classic”

I have changed brands, and I think many others will too change brands. I have yet to meet someone who actually likes these new flavors, surely they will see a drop in sales, only bad thing is they will probably attribute it to the bad economy and not they bad recipe….

I still hold out hope that one day I will see a “classic” Spearmint again.

Wake up Mars!

I opened a pack of doublemint gum, and saw the green specks and thought it was mold!! I thought I had picked up some old gum. So, of course I had to google it. And I came across this site.

I’m actually chewing Fuicy Fruit right now & the consistancy of the gum has changed. I didn’t even realize it until I read it on here.
