Dentyne premium badge edition bottles

When I first saw these new Dentyne limited edition bottles, I thought they looked very cool, but didn’t even think about how practical they are until I started using them. I threw one in my purse, another in the cup holder in the car, and the third one is sitting on my kitchen counter. I’ve found gum to be useful for curbing my cravings – I’ll reach for a piece of gum instead of opening the fridge!

Let me first say that the gum itself is not new, just the packaging. It’s the same Dentyne we all know and love. These premium badge edition bottles, a first in the U.S. gum category, come in twelve bold, limited edition designs for three flavors – Peppermint, the intense Arctic Chill, and Spearmint, my personal favorite!

The bottles, designed by artist Anthony Yankovic, are especially appealing to young adults who love socializing. It’s essential to “practice safe breath” right? Anthony previously produced limited edition designs for trend and badge-driven categories like apparel, skateboards, and snowboards. Each bottle holds 60 pieces of gum, which lasts a lot longer than a typical pack, which always seems to get lost in my purse anyway! The bottles are easy to open, yet stay securely closed, and fit perfectly in the car’s cup holder, making it easy to reach for fresh breath at any moment!

  6. I think it’s a great design for keeping it in the car or the house, not so much for the purse though.

  7. Unique designs, good eye candy in wanting to know more about the gum and wanting to pick one up. I would use them before I go to work and usually keep a box of gum in my cup holder. I would share the rest with my family.
