Gum is an amazing treat that many McLean students enjoy every day. Everyone has their opinions on what the “best” flavor of gum is, but what is the most popular here at McLean? There is a wide variety of flavors that people like but I’m here to figure out which one students enjoy the most. I asked 20 McLean students what they think is the best flavor of gum is. They had the choice of spearmint, wintergreen, watermelon, peppermint, or if none of those were their favorite they could pick “other”.
Some of the results may surprise you, but I think McLean students came up with a good list. First place is a tie between watermelon and spearmint tying with winning 30% of the votes each. Next is wintergreen with 20% of the votes. Second to last is other with 15% of the votes. Unfortunately last place was peppermint with only 5% of the votes.
The results show the “best” flavor of gum according to McLean students is either spearmint or watermelon. Although those are the two most popular I had a few students tell me why their choice is the “best.”
My favorite gum is tropical twist. Tropical twist is my favorite flavor because it has much more flavor than any of the other options out there. – Kendall McCain Kieth 8th grade
The best gum is definitely wintergreen gum because it makes my eyes awake. -Lana Mackie 8th grade
I enjoy tropical twist gum because it is very very flavorful and lasts a super long time but it isn’t way too overpowering. – Brooke Duarte 8th grade
I also researched other most popular gum flavor articles and found some more information on what is the “best” gum. It seems that people like the more minty flavors like spearmint and wintergreen more than they like the fruity flavors like strawberry or watermelon. Most of the lists had either spearmint or wintergreen as the #1 flavor which is the same as McLeans most popular. If you didn’t see your favorite on the list don’t worry there are so many out there that weren’t able to make the make it to the list.
