Gum Review:

So, I decided this gum reviewing would be most effective if I covered all the brand's version of one flavor. I have spent the last several weeks chewing Cinnamon gum, and here is my verdict on it.

Stride: Good flavor in the beginning, but after about half an hour it kind of fades into just spicy (where it doesn't really taste like anything except hot). The spicy flavor lasts for probably another hour or two, I never really chewed it that long because it was like "ick this hurts to chew".

Orbit:MUCH sweeter than Stride. Doesn't fade into spicy, but the flavor doesn't last very long.

Five:Holy crap, gross. It starts out with the best flavor for like 5 minutes, then it tastes like black licorce for a few minutes...then it just tastes like hot. Really not good at all.

Dentyne: Not great flavor, and you only get 12 pieces per (crappy and poorly designed) package, so really its just not worth buying. Same with Eclipse. The economy sucks, so get as much gum as you can for your dollar.

Verdict: I'm not a huge fan of Cinnamon gum to begin with, but if I were going to buy a package of it, I would go with Orbit. Really, its the only one that isn't to spicy to deal with.

Next flavor with be peppermint.

So, I know I said I would be live blogging tonight, but two things happened that prevented me from doing so. 1)I had a group meeting at 9 and 2)they called the election at 10. Ergo, there was really no time for fun live blogging, but here are my thoughts anyway.

Right now I'm a crazy mix of overwhelmed, elated and relieved.

I am overwhelmed because I can't believe what happened tonight. I have spent so much time on this campaign, and now it's over. What ever shall I do with all the time I will now have?

I am elated because I think America made the best choice tonight.

And I'm relieved that people didn't get over-confident and still turned out to vote, the Bradley Effect has been shot down, and the youth of this country didn't suck.

This is the most important event I have ever witnessed, and may ever witness. I am very proud to be an American right now.

Congratulations to everyone who had a part in this campaign. We won tonight.

I can't even write anymore right now. The next few days are going to be very exciting, so stay tuned kittens.
