Do they ever sell unsweetened chewing gum?

I would be greatly interested in buying some... Never felt like
chewing gum had to taste sweet...

good idea, I wanted to visit one anyway. My wife now wants to eat wild
salmon instead of farmed (which I think is unnecessary, but I respect
her desire), so I'll buy some wild salmon and check unsweetened chewing
gum.

let us know if you find some.  i don't chew gum myself, but i'm sure
that lots of low carbers would be interested in such a thing.

There used to be, and perhaps still are, chewing gum kits.  It is
possible that the flavoring was a separate packet.

That would kinda be like chewing on a rubber-band - lol

I'm sure that somewhere up in Maine or New Hampshire you can still
find the original chewing gum: Spruce gum.

Naturally unsweetened (but oh, so nasty).

Chewing gum goes waaaaaay back. One example: Gum Arabic was used
centuries ago for the same purpose and later mixed with flavorings. It
was also used mixed with medicines to be a kind of time-release
medicine-delivery system.

Look at the sugar-free gums and see which sugar alcohols they
contain.  Then decide which, if any, you can consume.

Hey, I'm also a gum chewer.  I chew sugar-free gum at my movie theater job,
to keep my mouth busy so I won't be tempted by the free popcorn.  It's 2g
of sugar alcohol carbs per stick, and since I don't care about the flavor,
just want something to chew, I only chew one stick all day.  Aside from
making my jaw ache I haven't had any ill effects.

I have only 3 flaws.  My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

For those who do want a minty flavor with their gum, try adding a scosh of
mint extract from time to time.  I used to use tic tacs, but if you do that
all day, you'll add significant carbs.  I also use other flavors
occasionally, or a drop of those super-strong breath freshener liquids.

Here is a link to sugar free gum with xylitol at the Atkins site.  It's
waaaayyy expensive, but you might be able to find it elsewhere.

sweetened sugar free gum is sold at every sams club and likely at
every grocery store.
