First of all, I’m an austrian guy living in Austria. We have many turkish shops in my city and I love shopping there. Best tea, lovely people, awesome snacks and Cekirdek cheap and tasty. Recently I bought some chewing gum to have some ready for my date a few hours later (Although I brush my teeth, I like my mouth smelling fresh).
Half an hour before my date I open this innocent looking package and throw in 2 pieces. This led to the most vile gagging i ever experienced and I am a pretty well verses homosexual. Who is the target group for such a product? It tastes like someone spit an already chewed chewing gum into my mouth. (Not that i would know how something like this tastes….). I’m really confused and cant really make anything of it. There were several flavours, do they all taste this … distinguished?
TLDR: Was unpleasantly surprised by turkish chewing gum. Why does it taste like prechewed gum?

Sağkoz Sakızdaroğulları prechews every single one of them, this is a well-known fact about Falım.
The target group is of course non other than manly men that are indeed quite oh so manly, for only manly men would chew a prechewed gum, yes sir that is how it be.

The regular version (Which has blue-yellow packaging) has no flavor at all. Its target audience is truly gum lovers who want to chew for a long time. Most flavored gums fall apart after 30 minutes of chewing, but you can chew this one for nearly 4-5 hours.
If you’re looking for a slightly nicer flavor, I recommend the light blue “Karbonatlı ve Nane Aromalı” gum.
think of it more of like a dumbell for your gums than normal chewing gum i quite like to chew until my gums give up
It’s tough to chew because it doesn’t contain anything other than gum base and sugar free flavouring. You get used to it over time.
This is the only gum I chew, very close to natural gum mastic with a slight hint of mint.
it does not contain any sugar. this one has only mint flavour in it. this is what a real chewing gum is.
ME. I love the non-flavored one so much I have 5 boxes of 100 falim stocked at all times
People who dont want sugar and artifical flavors in their gum.
U are supposed to take maximum of 1 at a time xddddd. Most of people that chew this even doesnt chew 1 piece. They chew half of it. İt feels like it gets bigger more n more when chewed long hours. And as comments said, this gum is for true gum lovers. This thing doesnt fucking fall apart. Can chew it for more than all day.
Most gums are full of sugar or sweeteners. This one isn’t. It mgiht be ana cquired taste, but it really is made for anyone who likes gum.
Just a mint flavored unsweetened gum.
It’s good for your jaw muscles and gingiva. It also cleans your teeth from residues.
Those gums help develop your jaw muscles and make you look like a gigachad.
Two pieces at once are almost impossible to chew. You should chew one piece at a time.
Just curious, which tea(s) do you prefer?
Long techno raves were a great place to chew those 😉
People who want to chew the f out of the gum when they are angry, stressed. So, everyone in Turkey basically
ravers bro, techno scene.
You basically committed suicide by throwing in 2 pieces in one go. I do agree with you on one thing that it’s an acquired taste. I didn’t understand why people liked it so much as I was growing up. Now I chew it sometimes when I visit Turkey to feel nostalgic.

try this, Falım gum stays firm for a long time and is suitable for hours of chewing.

2 is an overdose. I usually pop half size bites. Sizewise it is more like bigbabol… not chiclets for sure.
Sakız is mastic. Sakız also means chewing gum because it is primitive form of gums we know(turkish culture).
Mastic has some healthy qualities, unique taste and already chewable characteristics.
Since Falım has no sugar and sweeteneers(or something) it is good for acidity in your mouth.
USP of Falım was its fortune telling wrapping papers.(similar to chinise fortune cookies)
So target group was mostly girls before marriage. 🙂
