Spearmint (flavor)

Spearmint (flavor)

Spearmint is a flavor used mainly in chewing gums and tooth paste that is either naturally or artificially created to taste like oil of spearmint (herb).

Wrigley Company and Cadbury Adams are among the companies in the United States that manufacture and sell spearmint-flavored chewing gum as Wrigley's Spearmint. Excel gum comes in this flavour in Canada; the same gum is sold as Eclipse in the US and Australia. Jolt gum is also available in a spearmint flavour. Freshen Up Gum is chewing gum produced in Brazil which also has a spearmint flavoured gum.

Wrigley also makes a sugar free chewing gum called Eclipse Sugarfree Spearmint and Extra Sugarfree Spearmint [ [http://wrigley.com/wrigley/products/products_index.asp Wrigley official site] ] . For the person who doesn't like gum sticking to teeth there is Freedent Spearmint Chewing Gum.

The flavour is not restricted to chewing gums strictly. It is sometimes possible to buy spearmint-flavored Mentos "chewy dragées" in some countries. They were (or still are) available in Germany, the Netherlands ["Enjoy the one-of-a-kind flavor of Spearmint in the chewy Mentos line imported direct from Holland. "You won't find it anywhere else." (" [http://www.germandeli.com/menspear.html GermanDeli.com] ," emphasis added)] and Poland. As of 2005, they aren't sold in the latter anymore.

In the UK, this brand has been almost replaced by Trebor Softmints in the customer awareness.Fact|date=January 2008 Trebor Softmints offers spearmint flavor as a one of its two main choices.
