just an informal poll to share what I like and see what others like.

the top of the list belongs to 2 gums  
Extra Cool Green Apple, this stuff is to damn good, flavor lasts a long time and it stays soft as well.  
Trident Tropical Twist, every bit as good as the Green Apple stays soft and the flavor lasts.

the remainder of my list is  
trident bubble gum, the best of the sugar free flavors  
Extra WildBerry Frost, pretty good stuff  
Trident Cinnammon, I think Trident wins this by default, Are there any other sugarless cinnammon gums?  
anyone else have a favorite worth trying out?

Its nothing special but I’ve been chewing Wrigley’s Extra Spearmint a half a stick at a time for quite a while. The initial sweetness is horribly disgusting but its 10 hour+ flavor life is worth it.

There’s a cherry flavor of Eclipse that tastes JUST like Robitussin. I love the stuff. Other than that, I’ve been chewing a lot of Polar Ice Extra recently.

Dentyne Ice Artic Chill. The flavor lasts for a fairly long time, and the initial mintiness is so extreme that most people won’t bum gum off of you a second time.

Trident Crystal Frost is my new favorite. It kind of tastes like a cross between wintergreen and spearmint and the flavor seems to last for a long time.

Unfortunately I can’t find it in individual packs around here. I have to buy the 10-pack that comes with cinnamon, origilal, spearmint, and Crystal Frost. So I’m really only getting two packs of my favorite kind and 8 packs of other gum that isn’t my favorite but still is pretty good. Trident Cinnamon is probably my second favorite.

Trident spearmint and peppermint, one stick of each a day, half a stick at a time. I chew each piece for 2 hours, just enought to last the workday. I like the new berry flavor but the flavor doesn’t last very long. After an hour, it tastes like chewing on a rubber band.
