I'm with Phil, I just chew gum when flying.
gum makes me sick sorta with all that juice sliding down in my gut. i chew gum occasionally if i am going to be around people to help my breath after coffee :)
i don't chew gum unless someone offers me a piece in the right flavor. chewing gum makes me extremely hungry.
I chew gum, but not all the time. My favorite is anything by Trident.

Ha ha ha! You caught me!
I chew nothing but Trident, during plane flights and sometimes after coffee and other breath emergencies.I like the Minty Twist and the bubblegum flavors the best. I used to like cinnamon, but I think they changed it.
I do when I think my breath is all stinky. I swallow it, too.
so you got the big 3# wad of bubble yum in your gut (complete with spider eggs) ?
I do occasionally. I find it helps to ease stress.
I love gum. It helps keep my mouth wet. It's also good to chew after meals, cleans the teeth.Currently, I like the Extra Dessert Delights. The key lime pie flavour is delicious.
when you wear uppers (false teeth) you lose half your taste buds so what's the point of chewing?

They keep advertising those during Top Chef Desserts. I'd like to try them.
The key lime is really good but doesn't have a lot of staying power.
I just bought the Mint Chocolate Chip, though I haven't tried it yet.

That sounds grotesque.
I like that flavor combination, but I think it might be weird to taste something that feels like it should be dirtying your teeth, when it is in fact cleaning them.
ask your dentist about gum. mine told me I might as well rub sugar all over my teeth and gums.
Mine is good for my teeth.

No, the taste is fine, but it dissolves in about five minutes in a kind of disturbing way.
I think it would, given a few more minutes, but it just kinda gets...weird...so I have to spit it out after five minutes. The five minutes are good.

I don't chew gum, but I have a ridiculous Altoids addiction.
Jammies wrote: "I don't chew gum, but I have a ridiculous Altoids addiction."I enjoy Altoids. Which flavour are you most addicted to?
Peppermint. I blush to think of how many of these things I chomp each day. What's your favorite?
I think peppermint also is my favorite. The creme de mente was really good.
I like the cinnamon Altoids, put I do have peppermint ones also.
Altoids burn so goood! I like the cinnamon ones best too.

I like the cinnamon when they're covered with dark chocolate. I still haven't managed to get my paws on the ginger Altoids, but one of these days...
Altoids are horrible for those around the person using them.When I still worked, there were many times co-workers would chew a few Altoids to cover up the cigarette stench on their breath. It didn't work. They just smelled like a nasty, overly-minty cancer stick.
I like gum. I used to chew it. For a while I was addicted to Dentyne Fire, and I got all my friends addicted to it too. Then I realized that the blister on my inner cheek was caused by the gum and I had to give it up. Same thing happened to my friends: evil cheek blister. I walk by it in the store and always sigh with regret. I still miss it.
I also gave up gum because whenever I saw someone else chewing it, it grossed me out completely. If everybody else looks like a cow working on a ball of cud, I must look like that too.

Cinnamon gum is the worst thing to chew for those with bad breath. It only amplifies it.
I don't like peppermint gum, but quite enjoy spearmint. In fact, I only like peppermint in tea, cocoa and ice cream.
Never liked it . Always grosses me out to see it . Plus the concept of just chewing then spitting out and not eating a "food" sounds stupid .

I have a big jar of dentist approved dental gum, which tends to dissolve after about five minutes.
I usually keep a pack of Trident avec dentec (I tend to pick them up in Canada) in my car for breath emergencies - fruity flavors preferred over mint or cinnamon.
