The Worlds Most Expensive Gum

"Worlds most expensive" "but that one's even more expensive"

[peamoon]

It's a very specific tree, the gum doesn't taste like tree bark at all. It's natural gum and it's extremely aromatic. In Greece we also use it for some desserts.

Most expensive gum in the world :- the one that was chewed by RDJ

[benpetrihos]

As a Greek kid I’ve had this sap a lot. The sap was indeed used as gum. The Greek soldiers used to chew it constantly. It can be found in several Greek baked goods as well.

For those wondering, the gum comes in packs of 6 and is 70 dollars per pack. This means the pack of gum is 11.66. The gold one is 100 with a pack of 4, which is 25 per pack. It boasts hour long flavor and is said to be sugar free.

More info: Originally Mastic was only produced in Chios, Greece. But in 2006 Turkey planted several thousand Mastic trees in Çeşme which is 8 nautical miles from Chios and has similar ecological conditions. Mastika is a Turkish company, the Mastic is sourced from Çeşme. According to a 2021 analysis, the Turkish Mastic lacked 3 main health benefiting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components, this could be due to genetically modified saplings. So in the end you're paying a crazy price for a sub par product when you can just get original Greek Mastic for cheap.

For the people who don’t know why it’s so expensive it’s because it's very hard to grow and harvest mastic gum. Mastic gum is a resin that comes from the leaves of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which grows in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece. It's harvested once every seven years, and there are only about 200 trees left on Earth.
Plus even the royal families buys these gums


Edit: And yes In Greece I’m aware of the fact it is quite cheap there but it’s kinda expensive In other countries I’m sure and it’s sold out from where I’m from

“It’s almost like chewing on rubber” Gum is rubber💀💀

[shaydapro]

Also if you didn't know, Mastic is the word in hebrew for Gum. ( I didn't know until he said it lol)

[SeguralooVe]

For those wondering the price, the exact case he’s holding goes for about $14

[maggygarcia]

"mastica" in Spanish is basically "chew" so it fits perfectly with the gum name ^^

[polydorasxatzi]

In greece, markets sell mastic gum for like 50 cents

For those curious, the gum in the video costs $70 (€64.94, ¥9, 703.68, 106.43 aud, ₩92, 152.90, 94.78 cad, 94.69 sgd, 56.70 gbp, and 5, 779.54 inr). There were 12 pieces, which makes each piece around $5. The Mastika Gold is $100.

Edit: Someone corrected me and said that they're actually sold $70 for 12 tins, 12 pieces each.

[Kingo]

Edit: Y’all it’s a joke please don’t give me math 😭

"The worlds most expensive gum" "there is a gold version of it but thats even more expensive"

[ottinannai]

Mastiha trees are a native in Greece and particularly in the island of Chios only. Their resin is used for medicinal purposes as well as many other. It's very good for health.

[chirosk]

We Arabians call that water gum. It has a very pleasant flavor, and its pretty cheap.

[AmandaR]

Price is $70 USD for Mastiv Gum and $100 USD for Mastiv Gold. You're welcome.
(PS, it's Mastika not Mastiv. Spell ✔️ got me).
Edit: @orangejulia helped me realize & double check, that it's $70 for 12 tins = 144 pieces of gum. And 4 tins of the Gold, with 24 pieces per tin = 96 pieces of gum for $100.
