Redemption.

As you can see, yesterday I did a review on the 'tropical fruit-ish' variant of Wrigley's new chewing gum, 5.

I didn't quite like it, so I decided to give another flavor a shot which hopefully, would help me forget the potent taste of the 'tropical fruit-ish' gum that's still lingering in my mind. Ugh.

Nightmare without the outer plastic wrap on the left; Saviour with the plastic wrap on the right. Or is it now?

Like the other variant which I thoroughly described yesterday, today's variant is similar to its yesterday's counterpart in every aspect, except the taste, of course. So i'll cut the long story short, and go directly to how it tastes.

To sum it short, i'd take this flavour over the other anytime.

Why?

Because its spearmint flavoured; You really won't and can't go wrong whenever you decide to purchase mint flavoured candy or gum of any sort over any other available flavour; and that applies to any kind of mint, spearmint or your regular Mentos mint.

It's only when the manufacturers get adventurous and start combining all different sorts of haphazard flavors into one just for the sake of releasing a new product, which is when you get a literal shitstorm of displeasing flavours to occur in your mouth.

But again, this all comes down to whether you fancy the taste of mint in the first place.

Similar to yesterday's 'tropical fruit-ish' gum, the spearmint version had the similar strong overwhelming taste to it and had a pleasant cooling effect coming off of it during the first few chomps. It's taste also managed to last and retain within the gum after quite a fair bit of chewing.

And this is one of the few flavours out there where its alright to go overboard with the taste, simply because this is JUST plain ol' mint and not some weird mumbo jumbo of random horrid pretentious tasting flavours of fruits erupting in your mouth.

Think of it as Wrigley's regular spearmint on steroids.
