Clove, Gum Vintage Tin, 10 Count

Yummy, fresh gum in a cute embossed tin. Chews well, flavor lasts a long time, and holds texture too. Classic gum that you can chew for an hour if you wanted to.

A few things -- clove is very subtle so don't expect a huge flavor. It doesn't last super long, but that's how most sugar gums are (big league chew anyone? juicy fruit?) That's the other problem, though -- probably not great for your teeth. It's also unclear whether there is any clove in it (per the ingredients list), but it does leave your mouth with a slight numbness, which IS what clove is supposed to do (it's still used in dentistry for this and antimicrobial properties). I still like it a lot -- something different for sure.

ONLY BUY THIS FOR THE TIN!! The gum was extremely dry, brittle, cracked, and fell apart when opened. The pieces can be chewed to a softer consistency but some pieces had a bitter taste. We tried 4 packets and ended up throwing away all of the gum. It is a quality tin. Love the raised design of the "CLOVE" and the boy! Will definitely keep the tin for other gum. Not sure now if I will order Clove gum separately.

Very cute tin and the gum is good.

Product useable but somewhat stale

I love this gum. It tastes so good. It also brings back precious memories. My Dad used to purchase this brand. He would always share with me. He went to Heaven in 1988. However, every time I have a stick of Clove gum, I can almost feel him near.

If you're an old school Clove gum junkie such as myself, you wont be entirely disappointed but just enough to still mourn the loss of an old friend. The packaging is nearly spot on, all the way down to the dusty white wax paper keeping the gum fresh. The outer pack wrapper is of perceptibly lower quality, and the tear open strip is not reinforced, so don't go at it with absolute zeal as you'll find yourself trying to open the pack the rest of the way without destroying it. The tin is a nice addition as well. The gum itself it not a particularly great analog though. The flavor is at times indistinguishably clove that starts with a remarkably ambiguous mint & smoke flavor that quickly fades into an almost but not quite clove flavor. If you dig the numb tongue of the original, you won't be disappointed, it still delivers on that promise. All-in-all, would I buy it again? Probably, if only in the hope that I got a bad batch and that the next pack will deliver on my clove fix. Odds of it being a disappointment again, high. All that is left is to hope that the newly resurrected purple Neccos don't arrive an empty shell of their former selves too!

Love this old time flavored gum. It reminds me of the mouth rinse that old time dentists use to use!! It is very much a strong but pleasant clove flavor!! If you like the strong mints then this will be a fave to carry in your purse or pocket!! Freshens your breath and love the nostalgia tin that comes in!! Highly recommend this product J.Apple🇨🇱💕
