Dessert Delights by Extra: Sweet Savories that Freshen Your Breath

Tired of the usual mundane fruit or mint flavors of chewing gum? Looking for something more savory and yet still effective in freshening your breath? Extra brand gum has come out with a new variety of chewing gum called "Dessert Delights", and one word pretty sums up their tastes: delectable!

So far Extra's "Dessert Delights" come in two delicious flavors: Strawberry Shortcake and Key Lime Pie. The names themselves were enough to lure me over to their shelf and look one up. I picked up a "Strawberry Shortcake" flavor pack and decided to give it a try. It was love at first bite. Not only does this gum really taste like Strawberry Shortcake, but the flavor lasts for a very long time and remains intense. The flavor is very distinct and different from other gums I have tried in the past, and I have tried a lot of different kinds! Ever since I bought this gum I have been hooked on it ever since. Sometimes I can't even help just snacking on it!

This gum is currently available in a three pack, with each pack containing 15 sticks of gum (45 sticks total in a pack). I bought it from Wal-Mart for less than two dollars and I have seen this variety popping up in grocery stores, drug stores, and other mass merchandise stores elsewhere.

The only downside of this gum, like most other popular gums available now, is that it is sugar free, which means that it contains the sugar substitute ingredient aspartame. Aspartame has been known to cause negative health effects, especially if consumed on a regular basis. For those who are watching calorie count or need a low sugar diet, than this gum is just the thing for you. I an a chronic gum chewer, so I will definitely be picking this gum over the other flavor available by similar brands right now since these flavors are so different. I will be picking up a "Key Lime Pie" flavor on my next trip to the store and hopefully Extra will come out with more delicious dessert flavors to add to this gum product line.
