Dentyne premium badge edition bottles

by

When I first saw these new Dentyne limited edition bottles, I thought they looked very cool, but didn’t even think about how practical they are until I started using them. I threw one in my purse, another in the cup holder in the car, and the third one is sitting on my kitchen counter. I’ve found gum to be useful for curbing my cravings – I’ll reach for a piece of gum instead of opening the fridge!

Let me first say that the gum itself is not new, just the packaging. It’s the same Dentyne we all know and love. These premium badge edition bottles, a first in the U.S. gum category, come in twelve bold, limited edition designs for three flavors – Peppermint, the intense Arctic Chill, and Spearmint, my personal favorite!

The bottles, designed by artist Anthony Yankovic, are especially appealing to young adults who love socializing. It’s essential to “practice safe breath” right? Anthony previously produced limited edition designs for trend and badge-driven categories like apparel, skateboards, and snowboards. Each bottle holds 60 pieces of gum, which lasts a lot longer than a typical pack, which always seems to get lost in my purse anyway! The bottles are easy to open, yet stay securely closed, and fit perfectly in the car’s cup holder, making it easy to reach for fresh breath at any moment!

  1. I love this design. They would fit in my drink holder in the car, no more fumbling around for my gum. I would share with my grandkids.

  3. These are so neat! My son chews gum constantly (he loves the arctic chill). These would be good for putting on the counter in the kitchen to collect “stuff” in. Right now I have a small tupperware container for things that seem to collect on my counter (screws, elastic bands, etc.) and the top of a laundry detergent bottle for change. These would definitely be a bit classier.

  5. I love the new design. My son would enjoy them since he can keep them in his cup holder and I’m sure he would enjoy sharing them since you ge 60 in a container.

  10. These are so cool. I love the design! I would put one in my truck cupholder, 1 in the kitchen to grab when I’m tempted to munch, and probably give the other one to my teenager, who is always asking me to buy her gum! (fresh breath is important in Jr High too!) When the gum is gone, I think the containers would be handy to use in the household too!

  16. I think the design is very “modern & cool”. I like it. I’d definitely use it in the cupholder in my car. I’d share with my daughter. She loves gum & I use it as a reward/treat for good behavior. Thanks for the chance!

  19. Have to say I really like the design of the bottles, times are changing and I think this new design will sell well. I was thinking of using the bottles to store my thumb takes and paper clips, and put on my desk to give my desk a little more style. I would share with anyone that asks.

  23. The designs are a little childish. I’d use the gum at work and share it with my coworkers. I’d probably keep the gum at my desk since the container is a bit big to carry around.

  24. I love the new design especially the blue one. I would keep these on my desk or in my car and I would share them with anyone.

  27. I like these new designs. Ultra cool looking. I would keep these in my purse which I always have with me and share them with my kids.

  29. I honestly don’t know if this is a practical design. I’d have to try them and see them to decide on this. It’s an interesting design.

  32. what a trendy design, they really stick out, id use them for earring & small jewelery keepers for my grandaughters & I’d share the gum of course with my HUBBY……

  34. This design is a safety thing! It fits in the cupholder so you don’t have drivers fumbling around trying to find pieces of gum that fell out of the other type of packages.
    Not only is it easy to find in a desk drawer, its seldom found empty.

  41. I think they are really cool looking. Unique enough to just set out on my desk at work to share with everyone! Thanks for the chance.

  45. I like the groovy designs on the bottles. I would have one of these bottles sitting on my desk. I would reach for a piece of Dentyne in the afternoons rather than a fattening sback.

  46. They are certainly attractive, and would make it easier to keep gum nearby (such as at your desk) without it scattering from the pack. Don’t know how functional they are (lid closure, etc) since have never purchased any.

  47. I like them. I would keep them in a cupholder in my car to share with my family on road trips :).

  48. I think the new design is really cool. I would keep these in my car. Of course I would share, it would be WWIII in the car if I didn’t share with my k

  51. I love the new design! It’s a great change from the old “packet” of gum! Fits perfectly into a car cup holder too!

  52. The designs are pretty and the shape looks like it would fit right in the palm of my hand.

  53. I think the design is very cute and trendy – definitely a hip move. I love the artwork and I would display it on my desk and share my gum with all of my friends!

  57. I didn’t know I could chew gum in style. That would be a positive thing for me since I’m trying to quit smoking. How cool are those!

  59. The new design is very original and I would most definitely enjoy the flavor from each bottle.

  62. These new designs are funky! They would really make you look twice when you pass them in the store. I’m a gum-a-holic, so I would probably eat the most while sharing with my boyfriend. 🙂

  64. I love the Peppermint design. I would keep this in a drawer for my husband and I so we could grab gum on the way out the door

  65. very mordern they look great i would share with my husband and sons probably put it on the coffee table

  66. I think they are nice. It’s a neat addition to a desk. No one will really know it is gum. Then, when it’s empty, use it as a change cup.

  68. I love the new design — it will be great to throw in my backpack for class! I especially like the Spearprint print.

  69. I love these funky designs! My husband gets this kind all the time and puts them in the cup holder in his car!

  73. I like the new designs, very modern. I would share the gum with my boys, but mostly it would be for me. I have a problem with acid reflux and chewing gum, especially after a meal, really helps.

  76. Love the design, cool, funky and mod. would inpress my clients with them.

  77. I love the art on the bottles but i dont think its very practical for everyday sale.

  93. I love that they made it to fit perfectly in a car cup holder and were also smart enough to give it a cool design so you actually want it on display in your car!

  97. I would keep one in my car in a cup holder then would always have gum on hand. The empty containers would nicely hold change which I collect to use for christmas presents.

  99. I love these new bottles. I love that the gum will remain fresher in these and that they will be so much easier to store.

  103. Very Cool designs! I would share with the grandkids. They would make great banks, maybe.

  106. I think it’s a great design for keeping it in the car or the house, not so much for the purse though.

  107. Unique designs, good eye candy in wanting to know more about the gum and wanting to pick one up. I would use them before I go to work and usually keep a box of gum in my cup holder. I would share the rest with my family.

  109. I like the design its definitely different as far as practical i am not so sure. I usuallly leave gum in my purse and the car so if anyone needs it they can just take one 🙂

  110. I like them. The design is sort of art deco/modern art. I like the fact that they have lots of pieces in them. They are a perfect size to fit in the drink holder in the car or on the desk at work. I’d share with whoever wanted a piece of gum.

  112. I like this fun design. It would fit perfectly in a car cup holder, so I would share with whoever was riding with me. 🙂

  117. They would not be good to put in your purse but to leave in your cup holder would be great!

  120. It should fit into cupholder in the car. I would keep available to freshen breath and in case of low blood sugar.!

  121. I love these designs. It’s fun & funky so it matches me perfectly. This would be best for my car cup holders since I am always looking for gum when I’m driving. I know all of my friends would snatch gum from them too!

  126. The Arctic Chill is by far my favorite new design. I would keep one in my truck and one in my office

  131. I think its a cool design. I’d keep it in my kitchen cabinet for whenever I wanted a piece of gum.
    .-= Melodic Mom´s last blog ..Baby Is 10 Months Old and Sways To System Of A Down, Army Crawls, and Roseola Outbreak =-.

  133. I like the bottle..it’s a cool design. Although if I didn’t have such a large purse, it would be annoying to carry around.

  134. I think the new designs are great – wonderful to keep in the cup holder of the car in not too hot/not too cold weather.

  139. I really like the new designs, they put you in an artsy mood to be sure, and that’s always a good thing. I would share my gum with my teen because we both love it. Arctic Chill is a staple in our house.

  140. I like them…bright & colorful so you don’t “lose” them & if they can fit in my car’s cupholder then that’s perfect!

  148. I like these designs, they’re certainly unusual and unique and would keep them in my car and share them with my kids.

  152. I suppose the design is practical. I would use this product at work, after I eat lunch & I would share them with my co-workers.

  153. I love the new design, I think it is very practical if you chew a lot of gum like my family does, way less packaging! I would have this in my car to share with my kids 😀

  156. Hopefully, this will give me something to sink my teeth into. I think the new bottles are great. One bottle will last a long time.

  164. It’s a somewhat practical design I guess. I’d like to keep it on my kitchen counter and use it when I feel the urge to snack and I’d like to share it with Laura.

  166. I really like the designs, exspecially the one on the artic chill cup. Its very cool, and goes along with the icy flavors of dentyne.

  172. The designs are cool! I’d keep them on my desk and in my car’s cup holders. I have had a different brand of gum that was in a similar type container and it was very handy to keep in the cup holder. Love these!

  176. I like the new containers. They are attractive and convenient. I would keep a container near my recliner. Since I enjoy chewing gum-especially Dentyne gum-I would keep the gum for myself.

  179. I think these bottles are very attractive. I would keep them in my cupholder in my car and share with anyone who rides with me.
