Krinos Greek Mastic Gum: Rich History, Piney Flavor, Culinary Treasure | Chios Island PDO Product, 17g jar

So I'm looking for top grade chewy gum like pebbles. Thinking what the heck when I first got it. So I tried it, kinda feels you're putting gravel in your mouth for a few minutes, lol then the difference comes in to play. It turns into a waxy piece and you do what it's designed for, chew. And chew. It's a cool experience. Yes helped in the chewing. But another expected surprise us how clean it makes my teeth feel afterwards. I wouldn't make it a habit but your are so clean from chewing on this, you really wouldn't have to brush. Flavor is not sweet or flavorful, it tastes like wax resin would taste. I think that it does somehow clean bad breath, like cleans your mouth, or maybe it is the saliva generated when chewing, I'm not a scientist or dentist. But it helps chewing, strengthening my jaw, with a weird flavor but not bad, neutral really, you can reuse it. I do it for about 20-39 minutes before bed or mud afto in lieu of Abad food craving, lol. Itt takes your focus off unnecessary snacking. My jaw had improved, my teeth fell extra clean after and it's a good time killer.

Just popped my first 5 pieces! Not bad. I happen to like the flavor! Pine & citrus . . . over an hour & still going strong. Took the picture and it was crunchy when I put it back in my mouth. Gets a little crunchy if I mouth breathe. Not a fan of that, but it's not a quality thing, just a testament to the fact that I tend to run cold. I took a picture so you can see what 5 pieces will really net you. A lot of the reviews I read mentioned 5 pieces, but dang! I'm recommending 8-10 to get a normal-sized wad. I'm not looking to get a chisled jaw. I just want something to do with my mouth because I have a pretty idle job. Sometimes I get dry mouth & I'm tired of sucking on water or soda or coffee. I'll try and update after a few shifts, but so far it's doing what I need it to. Good flavor, something to chew when bored & keeps mouth from going dry. Also helps focus on nasal breathing as opposed to the mouth breathing I'm trying to get away from. Definitely recommend to anyone!

I don’t recall ordering this particular brand. Because I look at all the reviews and there are so many negative reviews on this product. The negative reviews were on the value for money, the melt time, the size, and stickiness. When I received it, I opened the package and when I opened the jar, the product was exposed. It didn’t have the seal on it the seal was inside the cap and I couldn’t even tell what flavor it was because there was no taste or smell. It’s nonrefundable, but what a waste of money.

This gum is very small when It came. And it taste really bad, I can’t really describe the tasted but it’s overall not good. But the part of the chewing is good.

First time trying this gum. Flavor is fairly neutral with a piney undertone. Fun to chew, seems to exercise jaw muscles. My only reason for 4 stars is that it can cut your tongue a bit. Try not to use your tongue to move it around in your mouth too much or you may end up with microscopic cuts that take a few days to heal. Also only chewing a few pellets helps avoid that - larger wads seem to cut more.

Good quality and smell. Worth the money.

Love it original mastic

When received, the jar lid was broken, but this appeared to have happened in transit and it was in a sealed bag. I asked and was advised no returns, so I decided to go ahead and try this gum. The size of the jar is very tiny (like a quarter size around and maybe 1.5 inches tall).....and so are the pieces of gum, but it is packed full of them. I like that it looks like tree sap and I am convinced that this is a totally natural product. As others have said, you will need several pieces and will need to roll them around in your mouth and keep them covered with saliva for about 5 minutes or more. Then, what I did was to lightly bite down, little by little while continuing to roll the pieces around in my mouth until it softened up enough to chew. The taste is very mild and to me, not bad at all, relatively tasteless. Once softened, it is not at all hard to chew. When I got tired of it, I decided to see if I could keep that piece and reuse it. Yes I could, but strangely, the wad seemed to break apart in my mouth and I had to go through the process above all over again. Since this is my only experience with this type of gum, I am not sure how to rate it.

Exactly as desribed. Have not had the clumping issue and I still have after >1 year.

Not worth for the price .

It was all clumped together But o was able to use it.

It's good, but i wish it wasn't as dry

Ok
