New taste better but it’s almost too soft to chew and it also sticks to dental work. I vote keep the old. ---

I thought they just changed the package. I loved Juicy Fruit as a kid, but now the smell reminds me of those air fresheners they use in public restrooms. ---

Newbie here… Funny you should ask… Just bought a pack and while pleased with the flavor… the texture was slick and slimy…YUK! It was very hard to hang on to… Would not buy it again… ---

They changed Juicy Fruit gum? Did they get rid of that nauseating sicky-sweet smell that makes me want to throw up every time I come within 10 feet of someone who’s been chewing it? ---

It’s an evil plot. In six months, they’ll “bow to overwhelming consumer demand” and bring back Juicy Fruit “Classic”. Only the “Classic” Juicy Fruit will have it’s recipie altered so that it’s made with high fructose corn syrup. People will be so happy that their “original” Juicy Fruit is back that they won’t notice the difference. 😃 ---

Have you tried the new Carefree Koolerz Lemonade Gum? It tastes like that Gatorade gum they used to make, and is tres yummy. I’ve never liked Juicyfruit.
