A very strong flavour in the Hubba Bubba spectrum. I can still taste the Dr. Pepper flavour after 4 minutes, which is double the time of regular Hubba Bubba. Strong contender there. Not a duster by any means. Only complaint is a flat, lingering after taste and oversized portion. -

It's my favourite gum. Wintermint surpasses your expectation of what great gum is. Innovation and some of the best materials on the planet give this gum a revolutionary design and feel. 5 has learned its lesson from their forgettable watermelon experiments and created something truly magnificent in this no nonsense flavour. -
My initial reaction to this gum was "Oh god" and not in a good way. The first bite coyly hinted at a rock-like texture. After 30 seconds or so, I had managed to soften the gum at which point it seemed like I was eating a baseball card with black... +
My initial reaction to this gum was "Oh god" and not in a good way. The first bite coyly hinted at a rock-like texture. After 30 seconds or so, I had managed to soften the gum at which point it seemed like I was eating a baseball card with black pepper on it.
After 2 minutes of chewing, the gum took on a much more pleasant taste similar to strawberry Bubblicious. It felt more like chewing on a cottonball at this point.

Trident Splash Pucker Me Berry is very summery! It’s soft, juicy texture is a surprise at first, but it mixes in as you go. The flavor lasts a good amount of time and still has a pleasant taste even as it fades. Pack this one up for the beach!

This gum sure lives up to it's name. A punch of sweet sugar followed by a minty aftertaste. The small size packs a wallop of flavor that sticks with you long after you finish.

Starts off on a real spicy note, much spicier than the small size would lead you to believe. After a couple intense minutes, it mellows into a sweeter cinnamon flavor that lasts surprisingly long. Overall it's a pleasant cinnamony-experience.

The pieces were easy to open from the little paper wrappers and soft. The easy chew was very sweet with less of the strawberry or cotton candy notes and more of just a clean sweeteness.
However, as the sugar in the chew dissipated, I was left with the taste of the gum base, which is rather like some door mats I got at Ikea.

They don’t smell like much in the bag, a little less like chocolate but not fully like coffee. The bite is not at all soft, the chocolate is a little chalky and fudgy. The melt gives off a lot of sweetness and a little note of bitterness at first... +
They don’t smell like much in the bag, a little less like chocolate but not fully like coffee. The bite is not at all soft, the chocolate is a little chalky and fudgy. The melt gives off a lot of sweetness and a little note of bitterness at first as well as a good whiff of coffee. The chocolate is okay, not great but the bitterness of the coffee notes, the roasted and woodsy aspects kind of cover for the milk flavors. -
The strawberry flavor is very strong, but the milk chocolate holds its own with a creamy dairy note and a little toasty cocoa flavor. The strawberry is floral sweetness, no dried berry bits in this version. The cookie bits are odd, since they’re... +
The strawberry flavor is very strong, but the milk chocolate holds its own with a creamy dairy note and a little toasty cocoa flavor. The strawberry is floral sweetness, no dried berry bits in this version. The cookie bits are odd, since they’re made with starch and not actual wheat flour, they are actually rather starchy, though they don’t get sticky-pasty like some gluten free cookies I’ve had. The overall effect of the crunchy cookie bit is really nice, it aerates the experience because you kind of have to chew it instead of just letting the chocolate melt away, which I think boosts the strawberry notes. -

The squares are elegant and simple. They’re 1.75 inches square and sport the Ghirardelli logo in a beveled field. In my experience the packaging protects the pieces well and they usually look stunningly gorgeous. If there’s an issue with the filled squares from Ghirardelli is that they temper their chocolate to be very crisp and snappy ... so the filled pieces can be messy to eat when the chocolate breaks apart upon biting and the filling dribbles out. So, make an effort to bite on the diagonal, or pop the whole thing in your mouth at once. -
