Traveling for work often means long hours, hectic schedules, and very little time to take a break. In moments like these, something as small as a chewing gum can bring a bit of refreshment. Personally, I always carry a packet or two of chewing gum with me—it’s my way of avoiding a dry mouth and staying a little more alert on the move. While I usually stick to familiar brands, today was different. A colourful pack caught my eye—Chupa Chups Big Babol, featuring four exciting flavours. With curiosity and a hint of nostalgia, I picked it up, eager to explore each flavour one by one. Each pack contained six small chewy pieces, and every bite took me on a unique, flavour-filled ride.
Let’s walk through my juicy adventure with these four playful flavours.
The first flavour I reached for was the classic Strawberry. There’s something timeless about strawberry-flavoured chewing gum. It’s a flavour that most of us grew up with, and Big Babol doesn’t disappoint. As soon as I popped one into my mouth, the sweet, slightly tangy burst of strawberry instantly reminded me of childhood school breaks and candy-filled pockets. The gum had a soft texture, easy to chew, and released its flavour almost immediately. The strawberry taste lingered nicely—not too overpowering, not too mild. It struck that perfect middle ground, making it a comforting and familiar choice. While it didn’t feel new or surprising, it hit all the right nostalgic notes.
Next up was Rasa Tutti Frutti, a name that already hinted at a playful, mixed-fruit punch. As I tried this one, I could sense a burst of different fruity notes all mingling together. It was a fun mix—imagine hints of banana, pineapple, apple, and maybe even a little grape, all fused into one colourful flavour. This one truly captured the spirit of childhood mischief. It was vibrant, sweet, and full of energy. The flavour felt bouncy, like it could lift your mood instantly. It didn’t last as long as I hoped, but the initial few minutes were a firework show of fruity deliciousness. If you like your chewing gum bold and full of surprises, Rasa Tutti Frutti is definitely your pick.
I circled back to Tutti Frutti for my third try—yes, it appeared twice in the variety pack. While I was initially surprised by the repetition, I realised this made
sense. Strawberry is a crowd-favourite, after all. And strangely, the second experience didn’t feel boring. In fact, it almost felt like a reset after the chaotic carnival of the tutti frutti. It provided a more mellow, comforting chew in contrast to the last flavour. Familiarity has its own charm, especially when you’re chewing gum to ease the stress of travel. There’s a soothing simplicity in strawberry that makes it feel like an anchor amid more experimental flavours
Last but certainly not least was Rasa Blueberry. This was the one I was most curious about, and it didn’t disappoint. The blueberry flavour was rich and slightly tangy, giving a berry-licious twist to the usual chewing gum palette. It felt fresh and juicy, and unlike the strawberry or tutti frutti, the blueberry had a cooler undertone. It was refreshing in a way that reminded me of berry popsicles on a hot day. The flavour lingered longer on the tongue, gradually fading instead of disappearing all at once. There’s something satisfying about how it slowly released its essence, making it perfect for a calm, extended chew.
What really made the experience enjoyable was not just the flavours but also the texture and size of each gum. The pieces were small and soft, easy on the jaws, and packed with just enough flavour to last a good few minutes. For someone like me, who often chews gum to pass time between airport layovers or meetings, these were ideal. They didn’t feel too heavy or too sweet. Instead, they brought just the right amount of fun and refreshment.
Another delightful aspect was the packaging. Each flavour was wrapped in its own colourful label, playful and attractive—very much in the Chupa Chups style. It was cheerful enough to make you smile even before you tasted the gum. The brand has clearly put thought into not just the flavour but also the experience around it.
While many chewing gums tend to blend into one after a while, Big Babol’s flavour range stood out for how distinct each one was. Even though two of the flavours were the same (strawberry), the overall combination felt balanced and satisfying. It was like chewing through different moods—sometimes playful, sometimes comforting, sometimes zesty.
From a practical point of view, these mini gums also fit easily into a backpack, purse, or even a pocket. Perfect for frequent travellers or anyone who likes to keep a little burst of flavour handy throughout the day. They also make a fun addition to party favours or snack boxes.
–Chupa Chups Big Babol delivered a fun and flavourful experience that far exceeded my expectations. Whether it was the familiarity of strawberry, the chaos of tutti frutti, or the calm richness of blueberry, each flavour brought something special to the table. It’s rare for a chewing gum to feel like an adventure, but this variety pack managed to do just that. It turned a mundane work trip into a small, flavourful celebration.
If you’re someone who loves trying new flavours or simply wants a gum that’s more than just minty freshness, I highly recommend giving this range a shot. It’s nostalgic, quirky, and undeniably juicy. The next time you’re on the go, let your taste buds tag along for the ride—with Big Babol, every chew is a surprise.
