Sorry I'm lame, here are a couple of gum reviews.
Positively Pomegranate by Orbit
1 out of 5. It's pretty bad. It doesn't taste like pomegranate, and whatever the flavor was, it was not very good. I chewed half the pack and then gave it away. It also dissolves in your mouth which is just kind of disgusting. Don't buy it, there are much better (x10) fruit gums for your money.
Nonstop Mint by Stride.
...It's not perfect, but its fucking close, so 4.75 out of 5. Mostly I'm a fan of the creativity by Stride here. I like to imagine their thought process was something like "Hey, our gum lasts a ridiculously long time, so we're selling a lot of it...and that's exciting and stuff. But all our mint gum sales are about even, which means people generally like all flavors of mint gum. GREAT SCOTT! Why don't we combine all the mint flavors into one gum that will blow everyone's mind with awesome!! BRILLIANT!".
It starts out tasting pretty spearminty, then it kind of fades into an interesting wintergreen/peppermint combination. Cinnamon is not present, but I'm ok with that, because I don't really like cinnamon gum. It lasts a really long time, and the texture is generally perfect. Don't get discouraged with the first piece, it takes a bit of getting used to, but if you give it a chance you will not be disappointed. I would go so far as to say as of right now, this is my favorite mint gum of all time.
Xtra Care Peppermint by Trident
4 out of 5.
Trident does a lot of things wrong in today's gum market. Their packaging is inconvenient and out of date, their pieces are tiny and with Orbit to compete with on the 'we're good for your teeth!' front, that isn't even really working for them anymore. But with this new stuff they've got out, it seems they're finally getting with the program. The packaging is updated, so you don't have to worry about losing pieces in your pocket or purse or backpack anymore. The flavor is typical, but the texture is great and flavor longetivity isn't too bad. And they've put something new in it that makes it like extra awesome for your teeth. I'm glad to say, Trident is getting back on the map.
That's all for now.
