How long does fruit stripe gum flavor last?
The biggest drawback of this gum is that it loses its flavor within 5-7 minutes. By 15 minutes you are chewing on stick #2 to have any flavor. Eventually, you digest all the sweeteners and flavorings; all you’re left with is the gum base and softeners. That’s when you sense that your gum has lost its flavor.
