I just finished chewing three sticks of gum--the brand is that 5 gum, and its flavor is called 'Lush'. It has sort of a citrus mangoey flavor to it; not the least bit minty. After I spit my gum out I brushed my teeth, and I had to stop about halfway. My mouth was experiencing weird minty feelings, where it was so minty it was almost unbearable.
My question is, could anyone explain why this is happening, and what ingrediant in the gum caused this extreme mint sensation?
