Box #1 (Mint Mojito)

Box#2 (Raspberry Mint)

In Stores: December 2006

Welcome back to the next installment of the “Candy of the Future” segment. It’s a brand new day in the land of chewing gum. Now as you know, Orbit first hit the scene in 2001 with that cute British bird we would all come to love. But the great thing is, they take it a step farther and introduce yet more amazing flavors. For the sophisticated gum chewer we have Mint Mojito. Now, if you’ve ever had a Mojito (legally) you know it’s quite a minty drink to begin with. Very refreshing and goes down like water, yet somehow Orbit has magically transformed that drink into a chewing gum (legally) leaving the mouth feeling minty fresh with all the pizazz to a Mojito beverage.

Now the other flavor we have is Raspberry Mint. You know as glorious as it smells, it seemingly falls short where Mint Mojito thrived. I was expecting an onslaught of raspberry juices, but the payoff just wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be. Here is Raspberry Mints saving grace, it’s not a sprint, its a marathon. I’ve been smacking on this piece of raspberry mint for about half an hour and the taste and texture haven’t left. Usually your jaw gets tired, the texture begins to deteriorate, the flavor is gone but for some reason you keep chewing. Why do we do that to ourselves? Do yourself a favor, drop whatever gum you’re chewing or like to chew and go get a pack of this new stuff. There’s no way around it, Orbit will soon thrive as America’s #1 gum chewed sooner than you think.

The amazing thing about Orbit is, they haven’t been around long. In fact they are the youngest kid on the gum chewing block. But age ain’t nothing but a number. Orbit Gum stands its ground among the leading gum contenders. Orbit does more than satisfy your chewing gum needs, it is actually helping to clean your teeth while you chew it. And though it is a proven fact that chewing gum relieves tension and steps in as a nice snack between meals, Orbit is leading the way in the chewing gum world. I would tell you to “brush your teeth!”, but Orbit does it for you. Fabulous!
