Types of Stride Gum
The Cadbury Company, under the ownership of Kraft Foods, brought Stride Gum to the market in 2006. The company's main advertising for the product has focused on the long-lasting flavor of the gum. This long-lasting flavor comes from the blend of artificial sweeteners sorbitol and mannitol. These sweeteners are in every flavor of the Stride product line.
