Orbit Mojito Mint
Posted by Joanna Miller on Sugar Savvy.
First, let me tell you that this gum is very good. It’s minty and limey and the flavor lasts a long time, as far as chewing gum goes. It does fall short of a true mojito experience in that there is absolutely NO rum involved (por que?), but it’s easily the best new gum flavor I’ve had the pleasure of chewing in years. And yes, that includes Hershey’s Chocolate Bubble Yum.
It tastes not unlike the Quench Sport Gum that I would buy at the sporting goods store near my house growing up. Except for the fact that the flavor lasts much longer than the maddeningly 5-second life span of Quench. (Man, I got burned EVERY time with that fleeting flavor rush. So mouthwateringy tangy and sweet and then, just like that…splitsville. Bland as a rubberband. Damn Quench!)
So now, after having experienced the pleasing marriage of tart lime and crisp spearmint featured in Orbit Mint Mojito, my mind is swimming with the possibilities of other libation-inspired gum flavors. White Russian Mint? Sea Breeze Mint? Hell, why stop there? Bloody Mary Mint? Seriously, who wouldn’t welcome the opportunity to chomp, chomp, chomp on the luscious juices of tomatoes, Worcestershire, and Tabaso? Just finish it off with a stick or two of Kentucky Derby Julep Mint and you’re good to go.
