These Ten Strange and Unusual Japanese Chewing Gums are really not bad as chewing gum goes - some are actually quite good!
Japanese chewing gum differs from American chewing gum in many ways, and that probably is a result of the practical way Japan looks at chewing gum. Since it's merely chewed for a while and then disposed of, it just makes sense for chewing gum to serve some function, ANY function before being spat out. This way of thinking can produce some VERY strange and unusual types of chewing gum, and from them we've assembled this Top Ten list! Now then, let's get down to the good, the bad and the sticky!

My favorite gum growing up in Okinawa, Japan tasted like flowers. I still miss it. I really don't like mint gum or traditional American gum much at all. That delicate taste is so hard to describe, but it can't be replaced. And it's my favorite still.
My friend knowing that I love that kind of gum gave me a piece of something the other day, and it did taste of strong flowers, very American, but I liked it. So now on the hunt for it, because she can't remember what she got!
So far 5 packages of gum that looked much like it, but no luck. >aargh!< but some of it was tasty!
