My new addiction: Orbit Lemon-Lime Gum

Orbit lemon-lime It's hard to get excited about gum. I mean, really, what can be done with it? You can try a different shape or a different flavor or a new ad campaign ("the flavor never stops!"), but in the end it's something you chew for a while, it starts to not taste that great anymore, and then you throw it away. But once in a great while you find some gum that's a little bit different.

Take Orbit's Lemon-Lime. I can't remember if I've ever had this flavor of gum before (maybe Fruit Stripes had this flavor?), but this is quite good. It's actually refreshing, in a lemon-lime drink sort of way, and you can even squeeze out some intense flavor even late in the chewing game. That's all I really look for in my gum-chewing experience, and Orbit succeeds in a big way.

(Hmmm....Nicole reviewed this a couple of years ago and didn't like it. Oh well.)

I enjoy this gum. My first thought when I had it was that it tastes like GatorGum. Mmmm.

I am a fiend for gum, especially the more exotic flavors of orbit. My longtime favorite was Mint Mojito but the new Sangria Fresca might be in the running.

I enjoy this too, just stay far, far away from the Sweet Cinnamon flavor. Its quite possibly the most awful thing ever created by man.
