Gum rant. Any gum like Wrigley's Extra? Extra gum is awesome where the strong flavor lasts and lasts a long time, but none of the Lotte gums seem to be all that Extra. Lotte gums suck. Flavor only lasts a very short time and it's too soft to blow bubbles. ID I'm Different gum. oh barph.

Where's the long lasting sugar free gums that kick like Extra?

Wrigleys Extra's flavour is to strong for Koreans!

You're right though. There is something strange about Korean chewing gum. Not to mention the way they chew it!!!

I get my mum to send Extra to me from home, but I did find Trident cinnamon gum in the Foreign Food Mart in Itaewon a few weeks ago. I'm not sure how this compares to Wriggles for North Americans (I've never seen this kind in Oz), but the flavour is good and lasts for a pretty long time. I think they were selling it for 2000won for a packet of 18 sticks.

I find Denti Q is the best of a bad bunch as far as Korean gum goes.

It's so annoying, as Taiwan/China/HK seem to have Extra gum, but none in Korea.

Is the Lotte gum sugar free?

Diaso (the 1,000won store) used to sell packs of Juicy Fruit and Wrigleys Spearmint. I bought them all and now I can't find any Diaso that sells them anymore. Must have been a fluke.

Costco's the place.

Here's a good article from The Onion for you gum lovers.

I am chewing a piece of Extra gum as I am typing this! I just bought a pack of Extra gum at the Hannam Market in Hannam-dong.
