I think I will also write a letter as I have been planning for a while, even though it will not do any good.

After trying the changed flavor and still not liking it, I switched to Doublemint which is much more tolerable indeed. Having no previous reference (of Doublemint flavor) helps too, I suppose. Like you, I am also looking for my new *mint gum. Didn't care for the taste of "Extra" (green or blue). For me, a packet of "Eclipse" has 6 pieces not 12 for one piece alone is too tiny & thin to be enjoyed. That makes Eclipse the most expensive one so far. I like the "Trident Xtra Care" for what it is except that it <a href="http://providence.craigslist.org/rnr/1317882261.html" rel="nofollow">gets unusually mushy & oozes</a> in humid & warm weather. Wrigley's Doublemint does get mushy & sticky but has higher threshold of unfavorable conditions. I will try your suggestions of Stride & Orbit. If they also disappoint, I will revert to Doublemint. Then, there is always, very un-gum like, Altoids (peppermint), even if candy sand peppers out from its container now & then. (Dang it! Only if Wrigley brings back the olden flavors!) Hi there,
