Comments:
"For a gum called 'Nonstop' I would expect it to last longer."
"Stays minty for quite some time. I had some lingering mint flavoring after about 2 hours, so I’d say that passes the test."
"Nonstop Mint is kind of a powerhouse. I’m about 40 minutes into chew time and it’s only now starting to dwindle on flavor."

Comments:
"The gum smells strange before you even start chewing. The mint is actually very mild, almost to the point of being weak."
"A fairly strong spearmint flavor and somewhat sweet. Pretty decent for a spearmint."
"Minty Suckness."
"Taste is decent and reminiscent of spearmint, but a little too fake tasting for my personal preference."

Comments:
"The strength of the mint is weak. And since it doesn’t last long, it doesn’t have the opportunity to build upon itself."
"The downside of being a powerhouse is a way too intensely flavored gum."

Comments:
"The chew is fantastic."
"Gets a little tough while chewing – about the only downside to this gum."
"Not awful but too soft for my taste. I like a gum with more bite (er, “chew”) to it."

Comments:
"Somewhat. The refreshment will last a little while, but I will probably use a different gum later on."
"My mouth feels like it just went through a dental cleaning. Ahhh!"
"Moistens and feels refreshing but I can’t wait to get this taste out of my mouth."
