Which chewing gum lasts the longest?

In most cases, mint-flavored chewing gum lasts longer than artificially flavored fruit chewing gum or bubble gum. This is due to the chemicals that are used to flavor the gum during production, explains Education.com.

Gum resin is artificially flavored to give chewing gum its taste. Studies have shown that mint flavorings are made of stronger chemicals and tend to last longer than fruit-flavored chewing gum because it creates a tingling sensation on the chewer's tongue and mouth. By contrast, fruit-flavored gums only affect the taste buds, and the chemicals do not give the gum as intense of a response as mint flavors.
