It's like chewing on sun tan lotion. A fantastic product. Highly recommended.

Ridiculously fabulous. I want to live, breath and eat coconut at all times. This product might allow me to do that.

Thanks for the recommendation. I love piņa coladas. Song lyric joke to follow.

I've personally never been struck by an urge to eat suntan lotion. What is the "cool" flavoring of the cool colada?

Highly Recommended: Orbit Citrus Mint

Not recommended: Wrigley's Doublemint Kona Cream

Mmm, coconut.

coconut is the yuck. cool cicada would have been better. but not the insect, just a stick of gum shaped in the face of john cicada.

true that. Also, the new orbit mint mojito is pretty rad. I saw some at BJs before they started advertising it or had it anywhere on google and got it. Tastes pretty good and keeps flavor decently long. I enjoy it extra because it's like i got a leaked box of it.

Yeah I'm gonna get some of this. Best flavor ever, no matter what food/drink it's accompanying. Can't see how it would make your breath better though.

You're right. It doesn't make your breath better. It makes your breath the best.

I just ended my work week by popping in a piece of Trident gum, Cool Coloda. I hope you all end your work weeks on a similar high note.

I believe a trip to CVS after work is in order. I'm on it in one minute!

Sharon's coconut sorbet from Trader Joe's is the tastiest food product ever made.


So, after hunting high and low for this gum all over the place I finally found it right here at the little convenience store in my building. I have to say, Nick was right on. This stuff is pretty damn good. The man knows.

while we are on the topic of gum, might i recommend Orbits orange or raspberry mint gums? These are truly 'where it's at.'
red
I just looked at the ingredients and this gum contains a milk derivative. Good thing I'm not vegan anymore.

Jess isn't going to approve of this gum.

Speaking of gum...have we gotten to the point where even GUM commercials need to be racy to sell product? WTF is with the lesbian thing going on here? Am I supposed to be as curious about this gum as chicks are about being lesbians? And if so, is the gum supposed to be as good as two lesbians kissing? I say again...WTF?!

Then again...I guess they validated the commercial since I'm now helping to spread it across the net. But still...?

Yeah, it tastes just like the lemon/lime Gatorade, for sure. It still was sort of dull for my tastes, and I wouldn't have it again, especially if raspberry mint is an option.

I'm not so sure about gum that tastes like gatorade. I'll wait until I get an approval from Nick on this one.
mouthbreather
Extra Polar Ice is where it's at.
I don't really like the fruit flavored gums very much.
ParticleHustler
My wife bought one of those raspberry mint/ice concoctions a few months back, and it was so horrid I had to spit it out immediately. It tasted like bengay with a hint of fruit.
Nick
The Creator of This Thread does not endorse Gatorade flavored gum.

Only gum that is mint, cinnamon, peppermint or Cool Colada flavored will be endorsed by The Creator of This Thread.

Are there gum message boards where they acknowledge the legendary work the Orbit team is doing? Honestly this post was inspired by my first try of the raspberry mint flavor which I was pretty underwhelmed by, but only because they've PERFECTED the mint/other classic flavor blend with Citrus Mint and (even more so) Bubblemint. Like seriously I want to write a fan letter to a gum manufacturer. Raspberry mint is a perfectly serviceable berry gum especially considering how vile bad fruit gum can be, but the raspberry completely overwhelms the mint in a way you don't get with the other two flavors I mentioned. Citrus Mint is admittedly a little heavy on the citrus flavor but it's a better taste than the raspberry so who cares. Meanwhile, Bubblemint is pretty much the greatest accomplishment in the field of gum during my lifetime.

A very good special occasion gum which I also want to talk about is Trident Splash Peppermint with Vanilla which tastes so much like a fucking chocolate (yeah, I know) dessert mint when you bite into it that it's almost too decadent for regular use. Ultimately however what takes it out of the running as an everyday gum is simply that the flavor runs out kind of fast and you can burn through a pack in a couple days. I'll be chewing Orbit citrus mint or bubblemint every time I get on a plane for the forseeable future but I might take a pack of Trident Splash along in case it crashes.

Oh and by the way I have tried Cool Colada out of desperation and like all artificial pina colada flavored gum, candy, and toothpaste it is fucking gross so most of this thread is an embarrassment

So much OTM. I've been with Orbit because it fit into my clutches. Get much too excited for each new flavor. Citrus mint is fave.
6ome 9irl
But actually I want to stop eating gum with sugar. I payed a nice dollar for my smile, back to Trident.

My teeth are too shitty to take pride in. Can't wait to try Mint Mojito!

Highly rec Mint Mojito.

We call my sister Orbit girl 'cuz she really could attract a plane with her teeth, blazing natural white, it's freakish.

I'm disappointed this hasn't been a topic of discussion yet. My wife saw this commercial for the first time about a month ago and couldn't believe/understand it.

Mint Mojito is such a girly gum.

I've been on an orbit sweet mint kick lately. good stuff.

Girly or not, Mint Mojito is da bomb!

Beware: It will leave its scent wherever you store it.

thanks red...stopping off on the way home for a couple packs of this stuff.

i really couldn't taste the mint at all but damn if that wasn't rasberryriffic.
Hewletts Daughter
it's quite the refreshing gum

i bought some different kind over the weekend. it was some sort of fruit mint combo that i wasn't too keen on. mango/mint? i dunno. all i know is that it doesn't even come close to comparing to the raspberry or the orange varieties. or the mojito one.
LA Mat
I like the orbit bubble mint and cinnnamint myself, the sweet mint tastes like the mints they have at chinese restaurants

Ain't it the truth

Now chewing some poor man's Bubblemint that my mom got me for Christmas, better than nothing but no substitute for the King of Gums

I'm also a big fan of the sweet mint and the bubble mint.
