I know. You see Ginseng Gum and all you can think of is "I have to try some of that!" And then you find out that the tiny grocery store where you saw it is selling it for a buck a pack and you dole out the cash without even thinking because, dammit, it's Ginseng flavored gum. Well, are you in for a huge letdown. The taste lasts about 3.42 seconds before you're left with this tough chewy wad of tastelessness. I know they have that whole thing about "ginseng's adaptogen effect helping all-around resistance and strengthening the entire body by boosting the immune system, fighting fatigue, reducing stress, and increasing stamina," but all I felt this gum do was make me want to shell out another buck so I could get my hands on some high quality Orbit gum.
The only way I'd recommend you shell out the money for this is if you can somehow get 4 other friends to chip in 20 cents each just so each of you can try a stick. And even then, only as a hazing ritual of sorts. Otherwise, stick with cinnamon. I hear it's good for diabetes as well.
