I pay about $1.70 for Orbit gum, which has 10ish pieces. The gum in the pop-out packs is generally gross and you have to chew two pieces at a time. Not worth the money. Try Orbit, Stride, or 5 gum instead. And no, Beech-Nut gum has been discontinued for awhile. Wriggly’s still sells the 5-stick packs for less than $1. They taste great…for about 10 seconds, when they completely lose their flavor.
