I consider myself something of a gum connoisseur, so it was only a matter of time before I tried Stride gum. Stride is apparently “ridiculously long lasting” so I decided to put it to the test. In the interest of science, I used the highly sophisticated clock on my cell phone to time how long I chewed the gum. I lasted two hours and 37 minutes and it held on to its flavor rather well the entire time, so it does live up to the hype. Here’s the problem: I really don’t enjoy chewing gum for that long. By the end my mouth was sore from all chewing, but I kind of felt guilty for spitting out the gum because it still had flavor. So good job, Stride, you made me feel bad about something and I NEVER feel bad about anything.
But, the stride website claims to offer a cinnamon flavor. I haven’t seen it in stores, but when I do that means I am going to have to do an extensive review to discover what is truly the best cinnamon gum, stay tuned…
…update on this. After consulting Wikipedia I have discovered that the cinnamon flavor is only available in America. First, what the fuck? Second, which of my American friends are going to bring me some Stride cinnamon the next time they happen to be visiting me in Canadia?
I am going to punch you in the neck in less than a week.
Do you guys have that new stick gum with the three layers? It looks so juicy and delicious in the ads. A review would be just as delicious.
