Do NOT let them fool you.

Do NOT fall for their treachery, their trickery, their theivery!

Do NOT be duped, fooled, or otherwise taken in!

Do NOT waste your money, time, or energy!

Extra does NOT have long-lasting flavor, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY TO TELL YOU.

Granted, I can only vouch for the "cool watermelon" flavor. I bought it today with the mentality that I would soon be enjoying the delicious taste of watermelon for minutes at a time. I WAS SORELY MISTAKEN.

The gum loses flavor after exactly 7.23 chomps. I have done the calculations numerous times and can verify that their flavor is neither long nor lasting, not by my standards, not by ANYONE'S standards!

On a related note, do the nutritional facts on gum labels only apply if you actually consume the gum? For example, one stick of Extra gum has five calories (but is not, according to the label, a "low calorie food") but will I get those calories by chewing alone, or only if I swallow it? Are the calories in the flavoring or in the gum itself? I don't know why this is bugging me but now that I've thought about it, I feel like I need to know.
