Chewing-gum Doublemint de Wrigley, 5 sticks

The peppermint kick hits instantly and lasts through a whole meeting, which is exactly what I needed. These five sticks are perfect for my desk drawer, and the flavor stays bold right up to the last chew.

I’ve been chewing this since I was a kid, and the peppermint kick still hits just as sharp as the first time. The sticks stay soft and juicy for a good twenty minutes, which is way longer than most gums I try these days. It’s the kind of simple refreshment that never gets old.

Picked up a pack for the road trip and the peppermint flavor stays crisp for a good half hour, which is rare. The sticks are the perfect size for slipping one in your pocket without it crumbling.
