5 Chewing Gum

Looks interesting but meh – I bought this because I always to try new gums and chocolates. This is nice to try but goes hard very quickly. I bought the blueberry flavour which gives you a pop of blueberry when you first bite into it, then it goes tasteless and hard. I don’t recommend it and haven’t repurchased.

Some flavours are nice, some aren't – 5 Gum is quite overhyped in my opinion. All the kids are talking about it - to be honest, the only thing special about 5 Gum is the Pulse flavour (my goodness, that is an excellent flavour, it tastes nice and the flavour doesn't fade that quickly - I recommend that one only). 5 Gum is slightly more expensive than that of its competitors. The only flavour worth buying is Pulse - the orange packet.

The blue and green packets are mint - they're not really that good. The mint flavours leave a stong "springy" feeling that most chewing gums don't leave behind.

Tempest (red packet), Zing (pink packet) and React (rainbow packet) taste nice, but the flavours all fade in a matter of minutes - React especially. React fades in a matter of 2-3 minutes, leaving behind a tasteless piece of mush in your mouth.

Do I recommend this to a mate? Yes, if you are referring to the Pulse Flavour. No, for the rest. Personally, I'm sticking to other brands myself. Good tasting. Mint flavours keep your breath fresh. Some of the flavours fade really really quickly - especially Zing and React ( both fade in a matter of minutes, about 2 to 3 and it's gone), obviously not too friendly on your teeth.
