I like chewing gum, but Orbit, Winterfresh are all American

There's a German brand called Forest Gum which produces plastic free chewing gum in equally plastic free packaging. I haven't tried all flavours but the ones I have were all genuinely very good. Even the plain mint ones stand out. They ship Europe wide and you can buy them at several German grocery shops.

We have something like that in Denmark as well, it's called True Gum.

Awesome, I'll get some and compare them. Plastic free chewing gum tastes so much better than the regular stuff.

I tried the lemon variant, it's quite good. But generally it doesn't last as long as Chewing Plastic^TM^.
