Flavor: Orbit tends to prefer adding mint to their non-mint varieties (see Maui Melon Mint, Strawberry Mint or Raspberry Mint for examples), and it was difficult for me, for a while, to get into Orbit because of it. I'm a purist, I suppose - I don't want mint in my Bubblegum. If I want a cooling, fresh feeling I'm gonna pop a Peppermint or a Polar Ice. However, with the introduction of last year's Perfect Peach, which was, indeed, darn near perfect, my opinion of Orbit as a general line started to come around. Strawberry Remix is straight-up artificial strawberry, and I totally dig it. A tangy, juicy burst on first chew, this gum mellows out into a delightful fruity chew that lasts and lasts. It totally reminds me of the Hubba Bubbas and Bubblicious strawberry cubes of my youth. The flavor is so good, it tastes like it could be a sugared gum.Texture: It just doesn't get better than this. From start to finish, the gum remains modestly firm, yet fantastically flexible enough to produce big, awesome bubbles that won't stick to your nose. The wad itself is smooth and silky - none of those weird white grainy bits that have been annoying the crap out of me lately with other brands.
Presentation: As evidenced by our poll to the right, it seems that the general feedback on the
Orbit fashion packs is neutral to positive. Most of you don't seem to care either way, so I'm going to stop complaining about them moving forward. If you like the fashion packs, you'll like this one, if you think they're dumb, you won't. I certainly don't feel that my fashion sense is somehow enhanced when I pull this out of my purse. I will say, though, that the outer wrapper of this gum was simply stunning. What a gorgeous rendition of a plump, juicy strawberry! Seems such a shame to waste such beautiful graphics on a cello wrap that's going to be thrown away immediately.Overall: I can't find a single fault about this gum. I've bought this gum to review four times, and three of those times I couldn't help but chew through the entire pack before reviewing it. It's juicy and refreshing, fun to crack and pop. If you're looking for a fruit bomb to add to your summer chewing lineup, you're going to want to buy multi-packs of this one. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Quierooooooo! Dame chicleeeeeee!
I agree it's a great flavor. Still refreshing, even though it's a fruity flavor. I like that it doesn't have the nasty/overpowering mint+fruit effect.
I remember chewing this all the time at a summer camp in 2011. I'll have to get more. Ahh, strawberry.
Oh my this is my new favorite! God my mouth is in love. One reason I chew so much gum is that it actually really sharpens up your jaw! It really only works if you have to really chew and up until now all other brands of gum I've tried have been pretty soft. Orbit is so different. It's like a workout for your face it is so firm and never loses its hold. The flavor is fantastic, I am absolutely in love and this flavor holds its flavor for an extremely long time. Yes it fades (so sadly), but it always maintains the same hint of the strawberry flavor that enables you to enjoy the gum indefinitely. Hands down a winner.
