Favorite Things, Even Better

Amusement parks, play dates with cousins, chewing gum— these are the things that excite my children. Unintentionally, I made chewing gum a rite of passage when my son first asked to have gum when he was teeny tiny, and I told him he had to wait until he was five (a number I picked arbitrarily), but the age requirement stuck, and my boy anxiously awaited the day he’d turn five. When he first tried some gum (Juicy Fruit) with his cousins, he was in heaven…it was everything he’d heard it would be from his school friends 🙂

Needless to say, when I told my son we were going shopping at Target with the mission of finding new Juicy Fruit® gum featuring Starburst® flavors (another treat he adores), he. was. thrilled. Juicy Fruit® and Starburst® are both so full of juicy flavor, and having them combined into a deliciously flavored gum seemed too good to be true. If you happen to live on Long Island, the Hicksville Target has a lot in stock!

The new, sugar-free gum is available in two popular Starburst® flavors: Strawberry and Cherry. We picked up both flavors in the single packs (15 sticks), but both are also available in multi-packs (three of the single packs- awesome if you have more than one child and they fight over who has the most gum).

Normally I’m a pretty consistent gum chewer and always kept a store of traditional Juicy Fruit gum nearby (didn’t think to try out a new flavor since I loved it), so the new sugar-free Strawberry and Cherry Starburst® flavors were a great way for me to mix it up from my normal gum, and my sons sure love it too! My little people and I didn’t miss the sugar in the gum one bit. Sharing Juicy Fruit with my family was a “sweet piece of fun.”

    My kids love gum and usually chew a piece every day after school, in between snack and dinner. I think they would really enjoy these fun flavors and I appreciate them being sugar free.
