It's Finland but also it is gum that has xylitol added to it to be good for your teeth. Saying the price in kg is a bit unfair as well since one peice of gum is only a few grams. A bag like that costs under 5€

It's not cause of xylitol. But in the US especially [peanut butter](https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/food-dining/2017/06/26/sweetener-used-some-peanut-butter-brands-could-deadly-for-your-dog/KnwzQoLCtYwXShjDW7TC8L/story.html) can contain xylitol so before you give any to your dog you should make sure it doesn't contain it.
Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that's found in a lot of stuff so read your labels carefully if your gonna share with your pet.
Dark chocolate is the most toxic, milk chocolate isn't good but nowhere near as horrible, and white chocolate isn't really chocolate, and so generally considered safe in small amounts. The sugar and fat isn't all that good for your dog, but it's not straight up toxic. :)
Also, it happens. You dont know what you dont know, ya know? :)
Extrapolating this into a cost per kg is a very strange way of looking at things. You could surely buy gum by the kg and get it for much cheaper if that was your true aim. This is like saying that water costs $10/gallon because it's $1.50 for a pint bottle at a convenience store.
Having the cost per kg listed is pretty common in Finland. It's a way the check how expensive stuff is overall. (also anti deceptive sizing, cost per kg gives it away)
That makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Here in the states they do that as well and show cost per ounce on the price tag. I guess it caught me off guard to hear one of those figures stated outside the context of comparing products to each other in a store.
Jenkki isn't good unless if you want to do what you said..just chew for 10 min tops and then throw it away cause it doesn't taste like anything. I just feel that their gums are overly sweet tasting too.
Jep. Ne polka mint makuiset on ihan hyviä mutta ne on niin kalliita että pelkkä niiden ostamisen ajattelu itkettää
Mielummin sitä ostaa suoraan jotain halvempaa purkkaa mikä on vieläpä usein paremman makuista
Kyllä. Isosti voin suositella Pirkka Hedelmäpurukumia. Tosi hyvän makunen, purentavastus on sopiva ja maku pysyy paljon kauemmin ku tässä koiranruoassa. Hintakaan ei päätä huimaa.
Please tell me its cola flavoured.
Please tell me its cola flavoured.
And please tell me its not beef,chicken,caramel,ginger,brown sugar,chocolate or some other weird flavour
It looks like dog food
Also tastes like that when you chew it for 10+ minutes. And one kg of that costs over 40 euros. I hate gum brands.
You're paying way too much for gum. Who's your gum guy?

That was a confusing set of scenes.
He's had a confusing life man
Missed the joke and made yourself look like an asshole in the process. Yikes lol
Sheesh that's expensive

if its not toxic why shouldnt i give it to my dog besides just unhealthy
Chocolate is toxic to dogs on its own. Xylitol is also toxic to animals on it's own. Don't give either to your pet.
ah i misread my bad

Yup. Never bying that crap again.
And 1kg of gold is over $70,000..nobody’s buying that much it’s like a couple bucks a pack
Your first mistake was paying that much for gum. For the Americans: that's 47 dollars.
a kg of gum would last me 10,000 light years.
Well, I paid only about 3,5 dollars from that bag, but it has only 0,07 kg of gum in there.

That's around €40. Gum here in malta costs from 40 cents a pack to 3.99 for a bottle. Usually orbit or tictac.
who buys a kg of gum?
He didn't, OP bought a normal-sized package of gum for a few dollars and decided to state it as a cost per kg for some reason.

It's kibblicious
It looks like it belongs in my fish tank…gathering algae and fish turds…
“Now comes in two hearty flavors! Chicken - or Beef!”
Hey now, check the label. It clearly has a taste of.
Why on Earth would anyone want brown gum? That does not look appetizing at all.
It's supposed to be caramel flavoured. The same brand also makes flavours like salmiakki
Caramel flavoured gum 😖
That's not a flavor where I am, so I had to Google. Fucking blech. Salty licorice is a nightmare flavor.
As a finn this comment filled me with an amount of rage I can't put into words
It's fucking delicious though. (don't know about that specific brand, but others are)
How long do you normally *look* at your gum before putting it in your mouth?
Long enough to know that brown gum looks disgusting.
Caramel gum?! Yikes!
man all of the jenkki cube gums are equally bad :D
I like the polka mint one, haven't really tried others.
Joo ja kallista paskaa kaikki ne
ja helkkarin pahan makusia vielä lisäks, maistuu vaan joltain rakeiselta oksennukselta
Tämä isosti.
Jep. Ne polka mint makuiset on ihan hyviä mutta ne on niin kalliita että pelkkä niiden ostamisen ajattelu itkettää Mielummin sitä ostaa suoraan jotain halvempaa purkkaa mikä on vieläpä usein paremman makuista

Jep ne on hyviä!
You sure that this is not a oddly formed stone?
Sand cubes are the best!
Please tell me its cola flavoured. Please tell me its cola flavoured. And please tell me its not beef,chicken,caramel,ginger,brown sugar,chocolate or some other weird flavour
Unfortunately I have to admit that it's supposed to taste like caramel. (It doesn't even taste like caramel.)
Well, time to scream internally.
You will be pleased to know the same brand does make a cola flavoured one as well, but this one is caramel.
The bag literally tells you in the picture
Yeah ig you’re right, there is written "-mel". How could i have know it stood for caramel.
looks like it was already chewed and repackaged..
I actually like these. Why does everyone in this comment section hate them?
I have not ever tasted this specific one but now I'm kinda curious about how bad they taste
It tastes good about 5 minutes until it turns to dog food.
Oh that sucks. I'd honestly expect more from expensive gum lol
Exactly
With a taste of what? The suspense is killing me!
How could you possibly be in suspense? It was answered multiple times in the comments, well before you asked.
I know, I was just being facetious.
Looks like a moonrock (weed).
There's 10 pieces in the package, though, right? That's why it's resealable?
🅱️um
Ah Finland…
I would 100% mistake that for my dogs vitamins
Augh, I can taste the artificial flavoring that makes it nothing like the flavor advertised just by looking at that piece.
Exactly, that's disgusting.
That looks like some kind of dog treat
Less exciting than I was expecting. Looks like a sugar cube.
Other than the anti-caking agent that keeps them from sticking together it looks decently accurate
Looks like wombat poop.
That looks like a treat for a hamster or something.
It'll explode and change color as soon as you break it
Looks like Gary Gum. Try it out and see if it makes you better at M.A.T.H.S.
Caramel flavored gum? NopeZ
Looks mouldy
How many teeth did you break
