Hi, okay in the book, he makes a gum that is like a three course meal (that's when she turns into a blueberry). But what if there was a gum with zero calories that tasted like REAL food... they should make something like that and test it out. Kind of makes me wonder if Roald Dahl is onto something there.

    Extra gum has those dessert delights things ... key lime pie is the only one I've tried but it's delicious!

    Maybe, but the thought of chewing gum that tasted like, say, turkey kind of grosses me out. :)

    Although Extra makes some that taste like desserts - strawberry shortcake, mint chocolate chip ice cream, etc.

    I am addicted to that extra gum.
    They have strawberry shortcake, mint choco chip, key lime pie, and they recently came out with/I recently found orange creamsicle!
    I love them all my favorites are mint choco chip and orange creamsicle...the key lime pie is really true to taste to but the only one I'm not fond of is the strawberry shortcake one.
    They are definitely awesome though for whenever I'm craving something sweet. :)

    omg! i was thinking the same 2 days ago while driving to work, it would be great to just have the gum with 3 course meal, including the extra glass of wine of course, totally calorie free, without the blueberry pie, i dont want to go to the juicing room:) awsome thought tho, im glad im not the only daydreamer!yey!

    Ooohhh YAY!! I definitely will buy a pack of each and see!! Great thanks!! Yeah chewing on turkey and mashed potatoes sounds really gross... but other things might not be so bad. Also I'm vegan, so if they made pudding or other things in a gum... Zero Calories, and Zero animal product I'd BE SOOO HAPPY!! Lol!!
