Shaarawi Mastic Chewing Gum, 100-Count Pouches (Pack of 4)

Having traveled all over the world popping a piece of this gum in my mouth takes me right to the Middle East.. It's an acquired taste.. Not too sweet so if fruity sugar flavored cavity creators is your thing this might not be for you but when you grow up and wanna chew real adult gum this just might be it.. Take your taste buds on a magic carpet ride

I read on a Kindle book titled "Why Stomach Acid is Good for You" by Jonathan Wright that -among other things- Mastic gum is beneficial to people who suffer from GERD, acid indigestion and other digestive problems, so I searched on Amazon.com and came across this product which I promptly ordered. However, this is not at all the product that I was looking for: the description indicates that this is Mastic chewing gum but when I received the order, the label in the back of the box containing the gum indicates that it is "Mastic FLAVOURED Gum". It is not the flavor I am after! It would be like buying vitamin C flavored pills.The description for this item on the Amazon site reads: "Shaarawi Mastic Chewing Gum - product of Lebanon" this is misleading. There's a disclaimer telling the customer to read warnings and labels but there's only one picture of the box and it is mostly in Arabic.***If you are looking for Mastic gum for digestive purposes this is not the product for you.***Unfortunately by the time I read the box I had already opened a couple of packets, too late to return!

My best friend used to bring me Mastic gum back from his yearly trips to Lebanon to visit family. It's somewhat of an acquired taste but I absolutely love it. It tastes somewhere between pine and licorice. This particular brand looses its flavor pretty quickly, but I still chew about six pieces a day and love it.

I like this gum but it gets really hard after a few minutes.

Excelente el artículo es como lo describen. Y El sevisio y la rapidez del envio. Gracias!

Great taste

The boxes of gum that were delivered were not mastic gum. They're just sugary soft gum and do not have the mastic flavor. I'm very disappointed. Too bad I bought 4 boxes.

You get a lot of gum for your money. It kind of tastes like ginger and pine trees. It made 2 people at work sick to their stomachs and another person almost puked after tasting it, but the majority of us chewed it without incident. No one (out of the 40 or so people at work who tried this gum) said they liked it. I am going to stick with plain old peppermint gum in the future.
