This is a chewing gum blog. Why? Because there are no other chewing gum blogs on the internet (or that I know of). Yeah, there are candy blogs but who cares about candy? I just want to talk about gum.
This site will focus on a couple things:
- chewing gum reviews
- topics relevant to chewing gum
As for the reviews themselves, there will be a review system as follows:
- Duration - How long the gum lasts (out of 10)
- Flavor - How good the gum tastes (out of 10)
- Awesomeness - Personal discretion used to rate the gum (out of 10)
I established this rating system based on my years of experience chewing gum. In addition, there are some gums that stand out as far as this system goes:
- Trident Tropical Twist - is PERFECT. It gets 10/10 in Duration, Flavor, and Awesomeness. Thus, it sets the bar for what a perfect gum is.
- Lotte Xylitol Gum - and yes, it is called "Xylitol" is an Asian gum that literally lasts for 5 seconds. Therefore, it has Duration rating of 0/10 even though it tastes pretty good and has some nice packaging.
- Mad Croc Power Peppermint Energy gum - the absolute worst flavored gum I have ever tasted gets a 0/10 in the flavor category.
- Dubble Bubble - this gum is about as generic as chewing gum as you can get. Who cares that it set a standard and has a rich history? It's packed with sugar and has one flavor: bubblegum. Not only that, but it doesn't even blow as big a bubble as the name implies. 0/10 for Awesomeness
Xylitol is actually an English word originated from Greek.
ReplyDeletePlus the gum isn't meant to be chewed for its taste.
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol sweetener and it actually has a lot of dental benefits. Its supposed to be really good for your teeth.
So people chew it after a meal when they eat out and can't brush their teeth. Its meant to be an alternative for brushing teeth when you can't.
