I always have trouble picking out which kind of gum I want. It's hard to keep track of which mint tastes like what. Today I chose cinnamon and it was a good choice.

Tell me about your gum preferences, BYOB

It doesn't really taste like cinnamon but it's pretty good

I bought a plant once, an American Wintergreen, and it has these little red berries that taste exactly like wintergreen gum. I always thought they just invented that flavor, like Juicy Fruit, but it's a real thing from nature

I gather these in the forest every year and dry and keep them to chew on or make tea

You can make tea from the leaves! Check it

Oh I should have read this too before replying

The berries are like little wintergreen candies

I bought the plant in Holland, because it was called "Bergthee" (literally "mountain tea") and I was like, oh look a giant potted plant I could make tea out of that costs €5, that's like the same as the cost of a fancy box of tea.

I looked it up when I got home, and it comes from north America and came to Holland via New Amsterdam. The tea also contains a chemical in the aspirin family and has NSAID properties, and was used as a pain killer by wounded soldiers during the revolutionary War, a trick which they learned from the Native Americans

Did you prepare that grilled cheese gum with butter gum, oil gum, or mayo gum?

Update:

I sat in a puddle while my pack of cinnamon gum was in my rear end pocket so I had to throw it out

I'm planning on buying a new pack soon, thinking about the flavor options already

When a loaf of gum is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes a breath mint
