Chewing Gum Recommendations

I don't chew a lot of gum, but I like to have something I can keep at work to manage my breath after lunch

I used to be into Five spearmint, if that's a good point of reference. I prefer the stuff that starts out soft, but I guess that's not a deal breaker

I may also be interested in breath mint recommendations

Thanks!

You can also find spruce gum on trees you just need to spit bark bits out.
- This looks really cool, but it's way outside my price range.
  I'll have to keep an eye out when I'm hiking
sorry this kinda took the joy out of it: Chicle and gutta-percha based gums are basically plastic. Those are the good ones, if you prefer your plastics to be naturally derived.

- Dang it, this is why I can't have nice things
  
  I just accept that a certain amount of existing means I'll have a spoon in my brain eventually
I usually look for ones with xylitol as it helps teeth as well, but they're getting hard to find and can kill dogs.

  Sorry, I was in /all and didn't notice.
  Amazon link because PieFed can't do images.
