Review: Better than any gum - I had to write a review on this due to so many negative feedback from others. If you want chemical, plastic-y gum to chew on, really shouldn't be looking at mastic gym anyway. This stuff is like crystallized hard sap that gets soft with the warmth of your mouth and chewing, however the gum is still tougher than regular store-bought gum (hence why many use it to work out their jaws). The initial taste is a strong and earthy, for about a minute. After that, it's a very subtle flavor resembling the initial taste. I personally really enjoy the very natural flavor. This gum can be used and reused for several days, on and off throughout the day. My kids also love it, which is great because it's good for the gut and strengthens their jaws. You only need two or three small pieces for a nice sized piece of gum to chew on. Will definitely keep buying this gum.
Review: Buyer Beware: Disappointing and Unpleasant Product - I was very disappointed with this product. It’s marketed as gum, but it’s more like a soft, sticky, tasteless substance that clings to your teeth in an unbearable way—worse than eating Cheetos! They tell you to spit it out when you're done but how? I had to pull it out of my teeth with my fingers then brush my teeth, then buy a new toothbrush because it's stuck all over it. Perhaps this is a product that needs a bit more refining before selling.

## Features

- Fresh Chios Mastiha Tears Gum Greek 100% Natural Mastic - Gathered From The Mastic Growers Of Chios Island. It comes from the mastic tree that only grows in the island of Chios and it is hand-cleaned piece by piece by mastic growers. Its unique properties are unique and recognized all around the world in the scientific community.
- In summer time the mastic tears may be stuck together due to high temperatures during shipping, just place them in a cold place and they will get back to their hard former state. Mastic should be preserved either in a fridge or a cool place that will not exceed 64 οF or 18 οC. If it is placed in a warm place it becomes soft stick together or it turn into liquid form.
- If the mastic sticks together and becomes one block, you can place it in the freezer for a few hours and brake it into smaller pieces. You can get the mastic back and forth between the two states (hard and soft) as many time as you like and it will not go bad in any way or lose any of its properties. Mastic gum is originally a liquid resin that comes out of the mastic tree and then it hardens with time.
- As time passes mastiha turns yellowish and hardens due to oxidation but never loses its beneficial properties. If you keep it in a cold place and air tight, this process slows down. The taste might be a little bitter at the beginning but after a little time it relishes it unique taste and aroma!
- Scientific research shows that Chios Mastiha has many beneficial attributes for both body hygiene and skin care. Also it can be grinded into powder and be used in cooking!

**Q: What does this taste like?**
A: Mastic has a distinct taste aroma that doesn't resemble to anything else. We are sorry that we can answer this question with more detail.

A: I'm not sure about making ice cream,  but I can tell you that chewing this gum is like literally chewing on Hard Rocks. You cannot chew this gum, it is much too hard and tough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'll write a legitimate review for this product
*by A***R on November 24, 2020*

I'll write a legitimate review here, because this is quite a cool product, and I quite enjoy its use. I learned from other reviewers that this product is sap from a tree which is grown in Greece. And that this sap is covered in sand is a testament to its traditional technique of collection--the sap drips from the tree onto the sand, and then the sap is collected from the sand. It feels historic and unique and natural to me, which I enjoy a lot. The first thing I did was popped about 3 pieces in my mouth, it was making a nice gum in my mouth as I moved it around, but it seemed a bit foamy, it didn't seem right. Ah--on the package it says to rinse each drop with water before using. Next I tried just two pieces--being conservative. With this amount, it didn't make as good of a gum in my mouth, but it was okay. I actually laid down and stopped chewing the gum for a while--this was a real mistake. The gum became hard again, and it was all broken up into many tiny pieces. After a while, I realized my tongue and mouth felt like they have many tiny cuts in them. Sure enough, those tiny pieces must be very sharp when they harden in this way, because my tongue and mouth were totally cut up. It took about 2-3 days to heal. This of course was annoying, but anyway I got some insight into what's going on in my mouth because of the pain from every movement. Next, I decided 4-5 pieces would be ideal, and it is. This quickly creates a good gum from the hard pieces, and I can chew it to good effect. Good flavor, and a good feeling in your digestive system. I saw that this gum does not "go bad", so I kept it inside of a folded notecard and chewed it for a while everyday. Then, it became a bit brown-colored, and I got 4-5 new pieces. Now, I am sure to spread the gum out in my mouth, and I actually use my bedroom fan to dry the gum off well, then stick it in my notecard. I also floss and brush my teeth before I chew the mastic gum. This surely greatly helps to reduce any bacteria-attracting content from being on the gum while I keep it in my folded notecard. Now--about the chewing. WARNING: The "TMJ" is known to be "the most complicated joint in the body". Not only complicated, it is delicate. And it is a very important part of your face. You don't want to be foolish or forceful when it comes to the act of chewing a tough gum to try to gain muscle, coordination, and better alignment in your teeth, mandible/maxilla, face, etc. Now, I don't really waste much time just chewing casually. I look in the mirror. Analyze my bite to see what I want to try to improve. Then I chew in the mirror, lightly editing my jaw movements, etc. to improve my bite overtime. If I were to do anything too forceful, I would feel a sharp pain in my TMJ from things being too out of alignment. There are a lot of muscles in your face, and there are many which are involved in a basic chewing motion. It is of course quite fascinating. I've found medical resources and 3D models to be the most efficient way to learn about anatomy. Before--when I was just casually chewing for an hour or so everyday, my right-side chewing muscles became so sore in a way that made me decide to not chew the gum again until it felt totally healed. Surely this would occur because of of alignment issues and muscle weakness, so I think it is the best choice for me, to stick to brief and intentional sections of challenging chewing to encourage my face to grow in better and stronger alignment. I appreciate this product. Cheers!
