These were his findings from worst to best.
12. Big Red
Fans of cinnamon candies like Hot Tamales will probably enjoy this, but it isn't for everyone.
It's a bit spicy from the cinnamon, and the flavor lasted a decent amount of time, but it just wasn't his favorite.

11. Winter Fresh
Not only did he say this has a "bland" mint flavor, but he also said it can lose its flavor quickly.
On top of that, once it does lose flavor, he said it leaves a bad aftertaste.
10. Hubba Bubba
This nostalgiac gum that's fun to eat didn't stand up to the test of time.
The bubblegum flavor only lasted a few minutes, and there was nothing particularly special about it to give it a higher spot on the list.
9. Big League Chew
Big League Chew is a bit odd as it comes shredded in a bag to mimic chewing tobacco baseball players used to use.
It has a bubblegum flavor that's "nothing fantastic" while being more expensive than other similar gums.
8. Orbit
He deemed Orbit a "cheaper, discount Extra".
He said the flavor isn't as good and doesn't last as long as Extra, but it's still good.
7. Double Bubble
Nostalgia hits with this sugary, sweet bubble gum flavor.
While it's tempting to pop one in your mouth whenever you have the chance, you won't have a long time to enjoy it.
He said this gum probably lost its flavor faster than any other on the list, but the flavor made up for it.
6. Double Mint
The popular spearmint flavor was deemed "average," and it didn't last for a very long time.
But it is super cheap and affordable, landing it its spot.
5. Gumballs
Gumballs are so much fun and a novelty that will last forever, but the flavors don't.
Although there is a wide variety of flavors, not all of them are great.
If you do happen to get a good flavor, chew quickly since it won't last too long.
He also mentioned that the nostalgia from getting these as a kid did contribute to their spot in the top five.
4. Extra
Not only is Extra flavorful, but it's sold in an affordable multi-pack.
The mint flavor will leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
3. Juicy Fruit
This one might come with a bit of bias since he said it was his favorite flavor of gum as a kid.
Based on that and the fact the flavor lasts longer than other fruity gums, he listed it as number three.
2. Trident
Trident is popular for fruit flavors that fans love. It was branded one of the best fruit-flavored gum by this critic.
The flavor also lasts longer than similar gum, which earned it the number two spot.
1. Five gum
This was his favorite brand of all the ones he tried out.
He said all the flavors are good, but it is more expensive than the others.
The mint flavor is strong and lasts extremely long.
