Are stride gum wrappers really edible?

Asked by mrscobainx3 about 1 year ago, 13 answers.

Kids in my school swear that eating Stride gum with the wrapper on is completely edible.
Im not going to lie,I've tried it many times,and I hafta say,It makes the gum taste sweeter.
but was this intended by the creators? Is it really okay to eat it?

I've done it, but only the inner wrapper. I wouldn't do it if the wrapper were a foil type though.

there are a few types of gum where you can eat the wrapper. you can eat any type of paper, actually, it will just dissolve and/or go through you.

While Stride(r) gum is designed to be chewed for a ridiculously long time, our gum wrappers are not. All of our gum wrappers are made with materials that comply with FDA regulations for food contact materials; however, none of our chewing gum wrappers are designed to be ingested. While there’s nothing toxic in them, gum wrappers aren’t intended for ingestion and gum wrappers should not be eaten. Should you have any questions or concerns about your children ingesting gum wrappers, please contact your doctor or other health care professional.

I have chewed the gum wrapper and it didnt hurt me 1 bit. it just made the taste of the gum go away quicker
but I think that it is a good idea 2 chew the wrapper because it dicourages littering and helps recycle with out even trying.

Yes you can chew the wrapper but the paper is bleached and dyed. While there isn't anything that should harm you, it is possible. (I do it anyway)
