Your Jaws and Gum

Have you ever noticed how fast those hot dog contestants are chewing? Well it's all because of gum. They usually chew 5 or more pieces of gum at a time! The bite of one of the good contestants (like Joey Chessnut, the world champion 5 years in a row) has more pressure in a bite then a German Shepard. Could bite your finger off if he wanted!

Vitamins? In my gum?

Yes, that is what I said. Stride introduced a new family of gum called Stride Spark that includes B6 and B12 vitamins, supposed to "release the energy" in your body, acting like an energy drink. There is no indication of how much of these vitamins there are in the gum. There are so far only two flavors in this set: Kinetic Mint and Kinetic Fruit. I have heard that, after chewing this gum for a bit, the gum starts to "Spark" and make your tongue burn. I will need to try this for myself.

While all this was happening, Trident came out with a new series: Trident Vitality. These new flavors have new ingredients and I am eager to try these. There are three flavors, each with different features:

1. Vigorate - A blend of strawberry and citrus, also including 10% Daily Value of Vitamin C. 
2. Rejuve - Fresh mixture of mint and white tea.
3. Awaken - Minty taste of peppermint and a pinch of ginseng.

 I have only tried the Stride Spark Kinetic Fruit once, only long enough to tell you that it has a very strong, mouthwatering flavor at the start. I need to get these flavors soon! I'll keep you posted.
