peppermint gum

Cool breath freshener

Peppermint gum is chewing gum flavored with peppermint oil, producing a sharp, cool taste and fresh breath.

It's the most popular gum flavor in America, often chosen after meals or before meetings: Got any peppermint gum?

The cooling sensation comes from menthol, which triggers cold-sensitive receptors in the mouth.
