Review of Extra Dessert Delights Sugar Free Gum

Since I'm counting calories these days, I'm always on the lookout for low calorie treats. One day when I was standing in line at the grocery store, I spotted a type of chewing gum I'd never seen before: Extra Dessert Delights sugar free gum. It was key lime pie flavored, and I love key lime pie. I decided to buy a pack and give it a try.

Well, I was amazed at how much it really did taste like key lime pie. I've had key lime pie flavored yogurt before and it was pretty good, but did not quite taste like a real piece of pie. This gum does. Since that day, I've tried a variety of other flavors of Dessert Delights sugar free gum, including orange creamsicle, mint chocolate chip, strawberry shortcake and apple pie. I did not care much for the strawberry shortcake flavor and didn't think it tasted much like real strawberries. The other flavors, though, are incredible. The orange creamsicle tastes just like an orange creamsicle - you know, those ice cream bars with vanilla ice cream inside and orange on the outside. The mint chocolate chip tastes just like mint chocolate chip ice cream. And the apple pie flavor tastes just like apple pie. I never would have imagined it was possible to make gum that really tastes like real apple pie, but this gum does. The different flavors smell wonderful, too.

One stick of Extra Dessert Delights gum has only five calories and is, of course, sugar free. The only thing I don't like so much about this gum is that it seems to lose its flavor pretty quickly. Still, it makes a good treat when I want something that tastes like dessert but without all the extra calories of a typical dessert.
