Beemans 5 Piece Chewing Gum, 20 count

I loved this gum as a child and it tastes exactly as I remembered.Good for heartburn. The flavor doesn't last long, but it's a great product!

What I recieved was stale, it crumbled when first bitten, and the flavor is hard to describe but nothing like the original Beemans I grew up with. And rather than the stomach soothing pepsin experience it made me slightly sick to my stomach.It's not returnable but it does come in a tin box that is pretty cool. Turns out a very expensive tin box because the gum inside is garbage. Don't buy unless you want a cool (aprox) 5x4x2 inch tin box with a nostalgic picture of packs of Beemans on the top. Don't buy it for the gum.

Great delivery. The product was packaged very well.No artificial sweeteners. Just simple sugar.I LOVE the metal tin packaging as it seems more nostalgic.

This is a superb flavored historical gum made famous by WW2 Aviators. Kinda rootbeer flavored, kinda minty it sure perks you up when you chew it. Delicious! Comes in a very high quality embossed tin, too. Highly recommended.

Beemans has long ago replaced the Pepsin flavoring with Wintergreen. While that provides a very tasty gum it is nowhere near as good as the original Pepsin flavored gum. The gum has excellent chew-ability and maintains a good consistency even after an hour of chewing. It does not get hard or difficult to chew. As is typical, the fresh flavor does not last for anywhere near that long, but since that is not a significant factor for me I have to rate the gum 4.7 out of 5.0

I treat myself to an order a few times a year as a treat. I then binge chew it. The flavor only lasts a few minutes so I treat a pack as one item. Sometimes I have 2-3 packs a day then I run out and I wait for the cravings to return. I seldom chew gum otherwise. How do you chew yours?

Stale.

I bought this gum because I'm very sensitive to certain chemical additives, and especially aspartame. The ingredients listed on this product contain nothing that has ever bothered me in the past, not even BHT. However, I got a pretty dramatic neurological response within 5-30 minutes of chewing this gum. Mood swings, anxiety, confusion, etc. It was so extreme that I really couldn't be around people for a few hours. I couldn't believe that it was the gum, so I experimented with various candidates and 3 out of 3 times, it recurred shortly after chewing a few sticks, taking me half a day to completely recover each time. These are not common symptoms for me, and not the kind of thing that I might be just imagining per the power of suggestion -- they were very dramatic!I'd ordered this gum several times and had a couple of boxes sitting around. I sampled all the boxes to confirm the source of the problem. So if there's some kind of contamination, or if there are additives that are not listed on the label, it doesn't seem like it was a problem with just one batch.This is my personal experience and people who do not have the same chemical sensitivities that I do could well have no problem. However, being manufactured in Africa (Morocco), I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are things in this gum that are not listed on the label. Caveat emptor.For those who want gum that does not contain aspartame -- a neverending battle -- I'm now having success with Humble Co's and Impact Co's xylitol-sweetened chewing gums. It took me a while to warm up to the idea of considering a new sweetener, since I've had problems with several in the past, but xyloitol is an extract from birch bark, so at least it does occur in nature, which I guess might be worth something, so I finally gave it a shot. And my dentist confirms that xylitol is widely recognized by the medical community as being an effective cavity preventer. After a few months of chewing a lot of this stuff, no problems. But I wouldn't dare chew the Beemans again.Too bad b/c I really liked the taste.
