Milliways Mighty Mint Chewing Gum, Plastic Free, Sugar Free, Aspartame Free, Natural | 12 Packs of 10 Pieces (120 Pieces Total) | Xylitol, Plant-Based, Biodegradable

Ever since finding out that chewing gum contains plastic (eeewwww!) I’ve been looking for plastic free alternatives. Found this completely by accident, so thought I’d give it a try! I’ve tried a couple of other plastic free chewing gums, and they are good but the flavour doesn’t last very long, and the structure breaks down quite quickly, and as a result I end up getting through quite a bit. I’m quite new to this one, but I like the strong flavour, and it definitely lasted longer than the others I have tried. The texture is much more like the commercial brands too. I emailed Milliways to find out if it is home compostable (yes - but it takes about 5-8 months to break down) and where it is made, it’s not the UK (which would have made it perfect in my view!) but I did get a very prompt and friendly response, so was happy with that! I would say it’s worth a try.

Finally, chewing gum that doesn't contain aspartame or plastic (or sugar), tastes great, lasts a long time and doesn't deteriorate or stick in your mouth. This is the best chewing gum of all time!

The taste is very strong at first with mint mixed with a cough sweet flavour, which lasts about a minute before it tastes kinda like cardboard. The texture is like gum and then turns into a kind of honey comb texture. You get a lot of packets, which I think is good value for money. They also have a cute little button you press to break the seal, which also locks the lid back in place. Because I have just purchased, I have no idea if the health benefits are true, but I bought them for that purpose and even though the flavour may not last long it’s a step towards having healthier dental care rather than keep using gum that I know has sugar, plastic or any other harmful ingredients. I would recommend anyone who wants to improve their oral heath to try these out. Just be warned the flavour isn’t like normal gum though.

Free from sugar and aspartame

I was excited to try Millways Plastic Free Chewing Gum, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The flavour is great—while it lasts—but unfortunately, that’s only about 5 minutes. After that, the gum quickly loses its taste, and you’re left with a bland, rubbery texture. What’s worse is that little bits of the gum start breaking off and sticking to your tongue and the inside of your mouth, which is pretty annoying. It’s more hassle than it’s worth, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a long-lasting, enjoyable chew. There are definitely better options out there.

To be honest, I decided to only tey out this brand of chewing gum. I am already 100% satisfied with my usual go to- 'Peppersmith chewing gum', however, I thought to trial this one, and now regret it. Unfortunately I have a brand to compare to, but the two bites for this gum was an unpleasant one. The gum instantly had a stickiness to it, which I don't like- I'm chewing as I type and it co firm that it still remains sticky. There's no firmness to it. Even when you add more into your mouth, it grows in size, but the softness is not pleasant for chewing gum likers. Although some might find the following irritating to the ears, I quite like blowing and popping small bubbles with my gum, but this gum does not contain the necessaries to enable this, in comparison to Peppersmiths which offer the same natural qualities. The mint doesn't linger and somehwat reminds me of airways instead of mint, not the flavour I was expecting when it was stated on the box 'mighty mint' I won't be buying this brand of chewing again, but if you are one who likes to chew non stop for the sake of chewing without the texture changing, then this might be the type of gum for you

The flavour is pretty good, quite strong and peppery. But it doesn't stay in one lump, it separates and becomes fibrous and stringy, and lots of little pieces get stuck in-between my teeth, which were annoying to remove and spit out while I was outdoors without a toothbrush. It might be okay if you combine it with another gum, e.g. a harder gum like mastic, to improve the consistency.

Excellent product! I will buy them again and recommend them. I bought this brand as it has been recommended by a dentist as being plastic free chewing gum. I believe it is as you can not chew it for too long, its texture changes a bit. I also bought them because I have parodontal disease and I was looking for natural products to look after my teeth. I have read about xylitol and its benefits, so I bought this chewing gum to use after meals when I am at work ore out and about. And I am very happy with the product, my teeth feel very clean after using it and after two weeks of being on it one of my teeth is not sensitive anymore. I highly recommend the product!
