Grenades GUM Explosively Strong Sugar-Free Gum - Intense Minty Blast That'll Blow You Away - Sinus Busting Power & Breath Freshener - Fruit & Mint Variety Pack of 5 (150 Pieces)

This gum is crazy!!! Pay attention to the "rating" on the corner of the package. 10 literally takes my breath away. BUT it stays fresh for a good length of time - longer than most gums and definitely freshens the breath and you get a bonus sinus clearing too!!

This makes excellent study gum and the stronger flavors as decent decongestants.Words of advice for first time chewers: don’t suck or just hold it in your mouth. You are planning to chew gum so chew it! It takes off the worst of the bite if you quickly chew it the moment it is in your mouth.It is potent and like others have said, you will love or hate it.I was looking for gum that would last for my many hours of studying I do nearly daily (yay PhD program!) and bounced around for various types of gum. Many of them were hardening after about 10-20 minutes with the flavor long gone. Not these guys. Most of them easily last over an hour or so. I start to lose flavor (except a certain flavor undertone I can’t seem to put my finger on) after the first hour or so. They don’t really start to become more difficult to chew until after the second hour. That being said, drinking water with this gum tends to harden the gum more quickly. I usually tuck it into a corner of my mouth and try to protect it from the water for best results.The higher powered gums can and probably WILL clear your nasal passages. If that is the result I am after, then I am using a 10 (uber mint) or 9 if I don’t have a 10 on hand. I keep these especially handy during my allergy season and for colds. I sometimes chew them then park them in between my cheek and my jaw or under my tongue for a bit before chewing them again later.Things to watch out for: A general adverse event of chewing lots of gum (most any type of gum) is that you tend to swallow more air which leads to more gas. Yes, you do burp a bit more but that is with gums in general, especially those with any mint. Another thing to be aware of is that mint weakens the sphincter at the top of your stomach which can also contribute to the gas. These gums do have a lot of minty goodness. If you are a chronic gum chewer like me you acknowledge it and move on, glad you aren’t devouring everything in the fridge instead.Now for pranks. This is a gum I love to give to my classmates and watch their first time chewing it. This is more fun when I don’t give you the advice about chewing it fast once it is in the mouth. Great for pranks! Funny enough, most every classmate I have pranked has asked for the gum again later.

All the flavors were really good. You can feel the mint in your sinuses.

I really enjoy these gums. they do clear your nose out but it's not like long-term unfortunately it feels very short-term. but the taste does last a lot longer and it is like a powerful like you you do feel like you're breathing better but I think it's just a menthol overpowering cuz after the Mentos gone you're back to poor nose breathing. would I buy him again yeah I would, I love the great grape is great.

I love this gum. It’s great to freshen breath and has a long lasting flavor. I’ve purchased this gum multiple times.

My son bought these gums and said they were good.

Definitely freshens your breath. The number "10" is really strong. It kind of takes your breath away. It clears up your sinuses lol.

Gum has great flavors that last a while but the menthol disappears quickly due to the process they use to make the gum. I believe they talk about that in another post. I think it costs a little too much for what you get but everything is expensive these days so it’s hard to judge. I might buy it again.
