Just wondering if anybody knows of any low carb gum of any kind that is acceptable in OWL? I really miss working and blowing bubbles to annoy the customers.

My personal favorite is Orbit Bubblegum by Wrigley. 1 gram carb per piece is sugar alcohol. A combo of sucralose and aspartame. It doesn't cause me any problems but I think it is one of those YMMV items. I wouldn't be chewing more than a couple of pieces per day personally. But it seems to make pretty good bubbles, lol.

Three words...

Carefee Sugarless Bubblegum.

I chew three sticks at a time, 2 carbs per stick, and the flavor lasts forever and ever (like an Amazing Gobstopper...LOL), and I blow huge bubbles.

However, that's 6 carbs "wasted" on gum. You've gotta determine if it's worth it. Some days for me, it is.

My two cents...

Ditto the Carefree! (But I haven't run across the Orbit, so I'm not saying the Carefree is better.)

Sometimes, ya just gotta blow a few bubbles!

Count the carbs, though, so you remember that it's a legal treat, but not a "free food."
