• Fresh breath with any flavor you want

Easy on the go

In the Netherlands, gum or peppermint is particularly popular as a fresh snack when you’re on the go. Whether it's on the way to work or another social occasion, or while traveling by public transport, the Dutch like to use this refreshing snack to quickly ensure fresh breath. Sharing gum or peppermint has even developed into a small but meaningful interaction in the Netherlands.

Different types and flavors

The variety of types and flavors of mint gum and peppermint in the Netherlands is very diverse, also as the mint gum brands/chewing gum brands. Traditional flavors such as peppermint and spearmint remain the most popular. Besides these classics, there are also many other variations nowadays, also in brands. For example, special combinations that respond to the latest flavor trends. Think of fruit flavors such as strawberry, watermelon or lemon. These fruity flavors provide a nice variety and are very popular among the younger audience.

Even sugar-free!

An important trend in the world of gum and peppermint is the emergence of sugar-free alternatives. This offers the same refreshing properties but comes without the disadvantages that sugar brings. Sugar-free alternatives often contain xylitol, which can actually help prevent cavities. In short: peppermint or gum provide a healthy choice, a fresh breath and improvement of your overall oral health!

The difference between gum and peppermint

Although both gum and peppermint serve as a fresh snack, they differ in composition and use. You chew on gum, which, besides refreshment, also ensures better concentration. Peppermint, on the other hand, is usually sucked on and eventually dissolves in your mouth, providing quick refreshment. The choice between gum or peppermint, therefore, depends on personal preference.

Your choice!

Whatever you wish, there is something for everyone in the field of oral refreshment. Whether you prefer the long-lasting effect of gum or the quick refreshment of peppermint, they both provide fresh breath. With the many options in flavors and types, it's easy to find something that suits you!
