2006 Introduced: 2006. Stride Gum gives gum chewers a fun, unique and long-lasting chewing experience, the result of several years of research to produce a "ridiculously long lasting gum." Launched in the U.S. in 2006, it was expanded to China in 2012 where it quickly became a leading gum brand.

Stride - 2:52 minutes With a name like Stride, you'd think the flavor would stretch a little longer.

If you're concerned about additives, choose a chew that uses all-natural ingredients, like Project 7 Naturally Sweetened Everest Peppermint Gum or Xylichew Peppermint Gum. And you can protect your teeth by selecting sugar-free gum options like Extra Polar Ice Gum, Dentyne Ice Arctic Chill Gum, or Pur Wintergreen Gum.

I bought this gum at a local 7-11, but I wanted to review it for the flavor for anyone who is interested in the mystery. It's a fruity flavor like a lime zest sort-of. It's definitely a mix of things, but I would categorize it as a fruit flavor. It reminds me of the old Fruit Stripe zebra gum.

Xanthan Gum is a high-molecular polysaccharide that is used as an additive in skincare and food products. Exceptionally sourced from nature, the Xanthan Gum for Skin naturally functions as a binder, emulsifier, stabilizer, skin-conditioning agent, surfactant, and viscosity-increasing agent.

Guar Gum's surfactant quality helps to enhance lather, making it ideal for use in soaps. In shaving products, it helps decrease friction for easier use of razors, and its exceptional conditioning ability helps to soften both skin and hair. Guar Gum is also reputed to extend the shelf life of various skincare products.

The New England settlers picked up this practice, and in 1848, John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.

In the United States, European settlers picked up the habit of chewing spruce from Native Americans as far back as the 1600s. But it wasn't until 1848 that a New Englander named John B. Curtis started selling it commercially. His Maine Pure Spruce Gum, and its natural spruce taste, became enormously popular.

In the late 1840s, John Curtis developed the first commercial spruce tree gum by boiling resin, then cutting it into strips that were coated in cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together. By the early 1850s, Curtis had constructed the world's first chewing gum factory, in Portland, Maine.

Gum base is composed of an insoluble gum base (resins, humectants, elastomers, emulsifiers, fillers, waxes, antioxidants, and softeners), sweeteners, and flavoring agents. The coating may be composed of, for example, sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agents, and fruit acids (Jackson, 1995; Patel et al., 2011).
