Flavor: Sweet, traditionally bubblegummy, a really fine saccharine representative of what usually is a very sugary treat. It’s a pleasant flavor that lasts until you decide to throw it away, and even lingers for a good long while after you’re done chewing—which is a good thing, unless you’re sick of it. It’s such a strong flavor that it’s the kind of gum I can only have once in a while, but that I do crave from time-to-time. It’s like a really strong food dish (to me, like Indian food, for example), one that you love to eat but not every night of the week.Texture: It has a really nice smooth texture that goes mushy but in a good way. The mushiness is just malleable, it doesn’t crumble in your mouth. It’s a different kind of chew, soft, yet stable. However, you’d expect a bubblegum flavor gum to entice you to blow bubbles, whereas this one does not. When I *do* try to blow bubbles, they’re sticky and difficult to peel from your lips after they pop.
Overall: One time I bought a pack of this gum and I felt like it was the most amazing gum I’d ever had. The bubblegum flavor was so sweet and cooling and long-lasting, the texture so smooth and malleable that I looked forward to chewing it and concentrated on chewing it, oftentimes while doing nothing else (This was during my college years. I had a lot of free time.). But once the pack was gone, I didn’t buy it again. It’s such a distinct bubble flavor that I just got sick of it. I’ll admit that it’s my best friend’s (and probably our only reader’s) favorite. She buys it by the can (the hard-shell variety of this gum is available in a little plastic jar by the dozens) and chews it regularly. I don’t know—it’s good, refreshing, I buy it all the time and recommend it to bubblegummers.

But the name is BubbleMINT. I'd have to give it three gumballs on the misleading name alone - there is not even a hint of mint in this bubble.
ReplyDeleteIt's cooling. I think the cooling factor alone is enough to call it "mint."
ReplyDeleteYou know, I also find that as the bubble fades, I does end up tasting more minty. Plus, when you remove the gum from your mouth, you feel like you've chewed mint gum. Which, like Katie says, is the cooling, I think.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite gum, and I am chewing it now, and I'm glad to see it reviewed, Gum Sisters. :) Thanks!
I've been trying to decide whether to give this a try and I stumbled upon this review. I think I will buy some! It's been awhile since I had bubblegum, but I feel like this will be a good, adult alternative to bubblicious. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite gum! I love bubblegum, so this stuff is great because of the flavor and the fact that it's sugarfree. Also, it definitely beats Stride's "Uber Bubblegum" flavor.
ReplyDeleteI got this gum once because i thought that it would taste like original bubble gum AND mint, and i liked it a lot! It has a nice sweet flavor, but the mint in it balances it out, so its not tooo sweet.
