For as long as I can remember, I have loved gum. I remember my mom having some really good tasting gum with her all the time. She had a disease that caused muscle paralysis in her face so
chewing gum after she recovered helped build back up her muscle tone. So, I was always trying to get a piece from her. She always had sugar-free gum which was better for us so she didn't mind sharing.
I am sure you have all heard of the gum brand Dentyne and it has been a favorite of mine. Because I am a
BzzAgent, I get the opportunity to share new products with you and today, I will be introducing you to Dentyne's brand new Split2Fit packaging! Before I continue, here is a bit more about the new
Split2Fit Dentyne Gum..
The NEW Dentyne Split2Fit pack easily splits into two sleek packs of gum that will fit almost anywhere. Shirt pocket, clutch purse, skinny jeans, fanny pack. Kidding! Definitely don't wear a fanny pack…ever. You'll be able to put your NEW Split2Fit pack almost anywhere you can think of. And hey, with Spilt2Fit packs you can keep some for yourself.
Because I like to chew gum, I decided to take on this campaign and check out the all new
Split2Fit Dentyne Ice!
So, for this review I was sent some Split2Fit to try out and see just how easy it really is to split a pack of gum...something I have never tried to do before! Because I love to share, I was curious as to how this would work. Is is convenient? Is it trendy? Is it practical? Well, here are my thoughts.
First of all, the the gum package opens like a book. There is a bit of adhesive that holds it together if you don't want to split it and also that keeps it closed if you keep it as one package.
Should you decide to share with a friend, or down-size the package so it will fit compactly into a purse, pocket or diaper bag, you can separate it down the middle. I know that having a large pack of gum can be bulky so having this option is fantastic!
What I don't like? The wording on the packaging and photos that I have seen on their Facebook page. I don't like the sexual innuendos that are presented by Dentyne...especially the phrase "practice safe breath" (this was just one of many that I ran across while perusing the
Dentyne website). This I find unnecessary and inappropriate...especially when you are talking about something as simple as a pack of gum. That is my honest opinion and as a born-again Christian, I don't like it at all.
Other than that, I love the flavors that I was sent (spearmint, arctic chill and peppermint), the wonderful taste it leaves in my mouth and the fresh breath that I have after chewing
Dentyne Ice for a while! I also love the way I can easily divide a pack to make it smaller. It is very good gum but I am not sure that I want to support Dentyne after seeing what I have seen from their company in their marketing.
So, in my opinion...
Dentyne Split2Fit Gum is wonderful! I don't care for the marketing standards set forth by the company but the gum itself is very refreshing.
Since I was sent two three-packs of
Dentyne Split2Fit I would love to send a pack to one of my readers! Here are your entry options into this giveaway...
