Some more weird gum has surfaced recently (previous weird gum here and here):
The BBC reports on a chewing gum that can enhance breasts. B2Up says its Bust-Up gum when chewed three or four times a day, can also help improve circulation, reduce stress and fight aging. I don’t care what other benefits it has, if its claim to fame is that it enhances breast size, I, as a male, will not be chewing it.
According to New Scientist, a Japanese company has produced both rose and vanilla flavored gum and candies that when chewed/eaten causes the body to begin secreting the smells 30 minutes after being eaten. The “smells” last for at most 6 hours. The article was written in September 2005…I wonder if this gum has hit the market yet? Aha – it has – you can get it at JList. Funny though, they don’t mention anything about the “smell”.
And…for even more weird gum ideas, visit the gum section of halfbakery.com. It’s a bunch of ideas for gum, not actual products, but some of them are weird. Water-flavored Gum, Mayonaisse Gum, and Vinegar Tendons. Ewwww.

I just tried some weird gum…Wrigley’s Doublemint Kona Creme (actually I’m chewing some right now). I live in Idaho, and I purchased it at 7-11. It’s weird. It’s very sweet, and the coffee flavor is weak. I can detect some sort of slightly chemically taste, perhaps the gum base?
I just have to say, I love 7-11; they seem to be the only store around here that stocks unique candies and gum.
Cool! I\’ll have to see if I can find some!

Kona Creme is sold a WAWA near where I work. I work midnight shift and it is the perfect gum from my-coworkers and I. When you can’t get up for that cup of coffee you can always bust out the gum. It’s like the best of both worlds.
Rob, waht wawa?? i live near Philly!! I’d love to try some!
I found some at a Walgreen’s in Orlando in September. I have since returned home to the Detroit area and have not been able to find this ANYWHERE! I really liked it and hope to find some again.
Wrigleys Kona Kreme gum is AWESOME. I purchased some over New Years weekend in Seattle WA. at a Walgreens store. I have yet to find anymore. I am desperate!!!! This is the first gum I have chewed that actually holds its flavor almost all day. It doesn’t turn rubbery; it stays soft and lasts. I have TERRIBLE dental problems and cannot chew gum very well and this is the first time that I have been able to chew gum in a long time. PLEASE DON’T GET RID OF THIS!! On the contrary, please make sure that it stays in the stores. I shared it with several of my friends and we all love it. I would love to know where to get more!! Thanks Susie
UPDATE: for those of you who have been unable like me to find WRIGLEYS KONA KREME COFFEE GUM I want to let you know that I found it a coupleof places, however it is limited right now so hurry. I also found it here…….founhttp://looneystuff.safeshopper.com/28/1517.htm?493d . Hopefully we can keep this gum alive. Happy chewing and enjoya “cup of coffee with me”!!!!!!!!!!!! Susie
You can get Kona creme gum for really cheap at a website I found. They don\’t have a limited stock so you don\’t have to be worried about it going away.
I just ordered 24 packs =)
