Spearmint Essential Oil

Most of the time I have little expectations that gum will taste much like it's supposed flavor.  Cinnamon gum never reminds me of a cinnamon roll.  Juicy Fruit just tastes sweet.  But Wrigley's Spearmint Gum really tastes just like spearmint essential oil smells.  A nice, warm mint.  Not biting like peppermint.  Just a nice, warm mint.  Apparently that bite is because of the menthol (or lack thereof) -- alot more of it in peppermint compared to spearmint. You can take a tip from the ancient Greeks and add spearmint to your bath; it's supposed to be calming.  Plus it smells good!
