What is your favorite every day flavor and brand of gum to chew?

I have yet to figure out mine.

For me it's all about curbing thirst.  The most useful for that is Eclipse Peppermint, I've found.

Extra Polar Ice for me. Lasts a long time and helps clear the taste out of my mouth that I get from time to time.

Quench gum, which you find at sporting goods stores, is designed to cure dry mouth.  I just tried it last week, and it's the bomb.  For those of us who have a hard time with fluid restriction this
is a God send.
