Would love to hear some recommendations especially if they are available in Canada. I’ve been chewing a lot of whatever the green and blue version of 5 gum is lately. 5 released a caffeinated version of their gum called respawn but I don’t think it was ever sold in Canada.

        thanks for asking i love telling this story

        it was spring break of 1999 and i had just gotten a good deal on the rerelease of tom & jerry the movie so obviously i spent most of the day watching it several times and you know how sometimes you watch something and you really relate to a character and you just wanna embody them well thats how i felt about jerry so you already know what i did i went out and i got LOADS of cheese the good stuff too i was eating kraft singles all evening

        after all that cheese and tom & jerry i was purely content so naturally i slept like a rock and dreamt good dreams and to this day can you believe it that was the best sleep ive had my whole life and sometimes i try to recreate it but its not the same and one thing that made it so special was i dreamt that my crush accidentally forgot to put on clothes how great is that

        anyway that morning i asked my mom if we could call my brother so i could tell him about it and it turns out he died in his sleep that night of cardiac arrest

      “in 2003 in the United States, Wrigley’s replaced some of the sugar with aspartame and Ace K, both artificial sweeteners.”

      Now all gum is shit.

    Extra, the green mint is my favorite but every once in a while I’ll pick a different color. To me, extra is the only gum where the flavor lasts longer enough to be worthwhile.

    If you haven’t already you have to try Thrills! It advertises itself as “it still tastes like soap”. Unique and old brand of chewing gum that I think everyone should try once. Shouldn’t be too hard to find and it is certainly available in Canada.

    I love Wrigley’s blueberry flavour gum! They’re sugar free ones so they’re less harmful to my teeth in the long run but I might be biased regarding the flavour since I absolutely love anything blueberry flavoured haha.

    For a while I think trident had coffee flavoured gum, and orange flavour. They were both delicious
