Glee Gum April Giveaway!

It has been a pleasure to be introduced to the products offered by the folks at Glee Gum.   They produce six assorted flavors of all natural chewing gum.  They use no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives.  It is also gluten free.  They are produced from naturally sustainable chicle which is harvest in the rain forests.



The gum comes to the consumer in a variety of packages.  They have their standard boxes which contain 18 pieces per box, mini packages which contain 4 pieces of gum, 1 oz boxes of "Wee Glee" loose gum as well as 1 pound packages for the gum chewer in the family.

I have been enjoying the opportunity to get to know the products.  My personal favorite flavor has been the Tangerine.  It is a nice subtle flavor that lasts.  It does not have the sugary sweetness that some of the candy chewing gums can sometimes have.  With the more natural flavor, it seemed to me a more lasting flavor that had a very nice texture as well.  Other flavors that are available are Triple Berry, Bubblegum, Spearmint, Peppermint and Cinnamon.


If you enjoy a good chewing gum with lasting flavor as well as a nice texture, look for Glee Gum in a store near you.  They also offer an online store to make sure that you can get all of the gum that you'd like delivered right to your front door.  Tell them that we sent you!


Along with the products that they sent for us to enjoy, they have graciously agreed to let our readers enjoy some as well.  They have generously agreed to provide Three packs of Glee Gum in the flavor of your choice and a coupon to three different winners to try Glee Gum.  Due to shipping restrictions, the winner of the giveaway must be a resident of the continental United States.

Note:  I have edited some of the entries to remove personal information.  I did not eliminate the entries and have retained copies of those entries, but do not want to endanger them in any way by having their personal info on a public forum.  Please leave only rank, last name and a contact email should your entry be selected.  A few have also put some spirited messages of support for their nominees.  That is awesome to see, but not required.
