Orbit Gum

Fabulous Fruitini:
This particular flavor bursts with the first chew. However, since (1) The name doesn’t give you any idea of what flavor gum you are really chewing (Fabulous Fruitini?) and (2) Maybe they named it this because of its wide arrangement of different fruit flavors blended together, truthfully, it was frustrating trying to figure out the flavors that were bouncing about in my mouth. I chewed this gum so much trying to get out any little taste of a certain fruit that the flavor just ran out. It might be the sugarfree-ness, or that Orbit is just fucking with us, or my taste buds just suck. Well, it was O.K. while the mysterious flavor lasted and it did leave me with a “good, clean feeling”. I could’ve sworn I just brushed my teeth with a fruity toothpaste. Weird.

4/7

Positively Pomegranate:
Some of you are probably saying “Fuck, I should’ve got this earlier!” Yes! You should have! Ass! Positively Pomegranate has to be one of my favorite flavors of Orbit gum… while the gum itself needs a chewy, more normal texture. If it didn’t break apart like that old, useless bar of soap sitting on that little ledge in your shower, it would be much more enjoyable. I literally had a hard time just spitting it out because of its inability to stay intact. It was pretty gross. It’s such a waste of an amazing flavor. Reminding me of that first sip of pomegranate juice in those cool looking POM bottles, I was excited to find another pack on the shelves of a local Wal-Mart. However, it seems as if the limited edition reached its limit. I’ll have to give this one some props for the awesome flavor.

3/7

Strawberry Mint:
Such a sincere and truthful gum brings a tear to my eye… just kidding, but Strawberry Mint tastes exactly like it sounds without deterioration. With a sour kick after the starting chomp, to a sweet and minty after-taste, Strawberry Mint gives a good impression. Unlike most gum in stores now, this gum sticks to its word. Just take a cold, fresh strawberry out of your fridge and go pluck one of those green mint leaves your mom keeps on the windowsill next to the herbs, put them together, and Bon Apetit… That is if you haven’t any money to buy a pack of Orbit’s Strawberry Mint gum. Hopefully you can so that the pleasure gets passed around. Voila!

7/7

Sangria Fresca:
Who doesn’t love getting loaded off of a drink that tastes nothing like liquor and more like punch? Well this new flavor of Orbit won’t get you smashed, hammered, trashed, wasted, or even loaded.. Sorry. On the other hand, this gum does give you a fresh (fresca) feeling along with its delicious taste. When my younger brother walked into my house holding two new flavors, Positively Pomegranate and Sangria Fresca in his left hand, I was so excited. “Here you go,” he said, unnaturally. The sweet scent flowed straight out of the pack and even through the plastic wrapping. I had to have a piece, IMMEDIATELY. “Brilliant!” I thought to myself, sounding like the men on the Guinness commercials. When the pack was gone later that day, (yes I do go through a pack a gum a day) I felt like making a gallon of fresh Sangria. Actually, that sounds pretty good right now. Flavors like berry, orange, and even of lemon were unavoidable. Another good flavor.

5/7

Gum is handy. You could fix that hole in that thing that leaks, or you could always use it so somebody could stand talking to you. Just kidding. Who loves orange gum? Kaitis loves orange gum. Is it true? I do, I do, I do.

  1. >Fabulous Fruitini has the tase of “buttery banana ass” as my brother so rightly put it. It’s now the “Hey, try this … it’s SOOO gross” white elephant gift. It’s been passed down now to dozens of me and my brother’s friends. We DO warn them … and the massochistic bastards who are our friends STILL tried it. There’s only ONE person who actually liked it! EVERYONE ELSE spit it out immediately.


  2. >Strawberry mint is like heaven in the mouth but the flavor could last a little longer. Sangria is very good as well and i really like it.


  3. >Ok I tried the Positively Pomegranate and it went from awesome to just melted GOO. It was terrible and felt like I just had a ton of spit in my mouth. How can they sell this?! Totally defective!!


  4. >^ I’m pretty sure that’s the consensus. I haven’t heard a single person say otherwise. Shame!
