This vote is about the type of mint you prefer, not necessarily any particular brand. The Trident pictures below are provided only for reference. So if you like Orbit peppermint, then please vote peppermint instead of other.

Wintergreen:

Sweet mint:
This one doesn't refer to any particular type of mint. It's a combination of mint and some sweet flavor, such as vanilla. It usually comes in a teal box.

Other:
This one also doesn't refer to any particular type of mint. It's different from sweet mint in that the combination of flavors isn't necessarily something sweet. For example, Trident original flavor is a combination of peppermint, spearmint, and cinnamon.

I like the one that feels like you're pouring straight liquid nitrogen down your throat...Spearmint I think?

Black Mint.

Kinda tastes like liquorice, and blows your head clean off.

It's so strong and really cleanses the palette.

I don't know anyone else that likes it much, but afterwards my breath smells nice (according to the observations of others).

Woa, that sounds intense. I wish they sold that in the US.

It is rather great, I went back and tried some regular gum since and now they seem bland in comparison.

I'm sure you could find some alternative out there if you look real hard.

Be sure you like liquorice before you try it, or you will probably just find it revolting.

I don't like black licorice, but I also haven't tried it since I was like 10 years old, so I'm not sure if my taste for it would've changed by now.

But I found black mint on Amazon. It's a little expensive by forcing you to buy 4 packs at $2.21 per pack, but I'm really curious to try this now, so I'm going to order it. I would like to have this gum as a frame of reference for if I like it and want to buy cheaper black licorice gum alternatives later.

Edit: Just ordered it. It's coming between May 6th and May 21st :/

Does eukalyptus almost fall into this category? Because I've been addicted to those for like 5 years.

Oh ho! Well, it's worth a punt. I buy the five pack on regular basis, I really enjoy it.

I don't know if black mint is at all related to liquorice exactly, I just find the taste quite similar.

Perhaps I am just partial to the flavour because they remind me of trips to traditional Yorkshire sweet shops as a young lad

Spearmint, particularly these though, can't go back to trident after experience it.
