Ok, it is crazy what you start to think about when you decide to go Vegan... its not even just the dairy and the meat! I was popping a piece of gum into my mouth and thought- -could this not be Vegan?
Does anyone know if gum is Vegan? I am going to call Wrigleys on Monday, but how do you really know? I looked it up online and some people said some gum was Vegan others said its not...
I have a gum addiction, and it might sound REALLY WEIRD, but I swear... I chew a lot of it.. which is probably bad.. it will be one more bad habit to kick if it is not Vegan which is fine with me... the aspartame doesn't do anything for me anyway!
Thanks guys!

i am not sure either but i stopped chewing gum when i realized i can't find any that doesnt have aspartame...which i am trying to cut out.

i did see some gums online in vegan shops that has b12 in it and no aspartame. maybe you can try switching to those?

Check out Chicza Gum. It is vegan, organic, biodegradable and helps to preserve the Mexican rainforest and the chicleros who live there and harvest the ingredients. It is a really cool story. You can read about it on their website.
