Orbit Mint Mojito

I was REALLY excited when I came across this flavor about 2 years back. For one thing, it had mint in it, and everybody who's anybody knows that mint + gum is a match made in heaven that's hard to screw up (see Orbit Sweet Mint review below). So, naturally, I bought a pack and saved the actual first tasting for a particularly boring class.

What a letdown. I had to spit it out after about 5 minutes, and I NEVER spit gum out. I ended up giving wads of gum away to people I didn't like very much as Christmas/birthday/President's day/ National Blueberry Pie day presents, in an effort to maintain (or even enhance) or level of dislike of each other. I also kept about 4 wads and gave them to actual friends/1 girl I was dating to test if they had the ability to discern tasty gum from gross gum, and all passed with flying colors. I've since broken up with the 1-girl-I-was-dating-who-then-became-my-girlfriend, and I suspect now, upon thinking back to her actual reaction when I let her try it, that she was most likely faking dislike just to get on my good side.

A few things have changed in my life. For one thing, I started drinking and I hear that this particular flavor is ideal for the individual who wishes to have a refreshing alcoholic tonic in the early hours of the afternoon, without wanting to come off as an alcoholic. All I can say to that is that I'd trust an alcoholic more with my life than someone who thinks this flavor gum is the best thing since the Wu Tang Clan.
