Instructions

1. Choose gum with a peppermint, spearmint or cinnamon flavor. These flavors last longer than fruity flavors. Additionally, select gum that contains flavor crystals that are effective for boosting the flavor of the gum, releasing more flavor as the crystals dissolve in your mouth. Flavor crystals will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the gum to lose its flavor.

2. Chew the gum slowly. Take a bite of the gum and then wait a few seconds before taking another bite. Chewing gum stimulates your mouth's production of saliva, which is responsible for causing the flavor of the gum to dissolve faster. The less saliva that is produced in your mouth, the longer the flavor will last. When you chew the gum fast it releases more saliva that dissolves the flavor.

3. Eat a teaspoon of sugar or suck on a sugar cube at the same time as you chew the gum. Allow the sugar to dissolve into your tongue. Adding sugar back into your mouth intensifies the sweetness of the gum, bringing the flavor back to life. Be careful not to choke with all of the items in your mouth.
