Top Comments of this video!! :3
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

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.
