Orbit Sugar Free Gum Bubblemint 12 ea Review

Orbitgal happens to be a name I chose for an online handle years before this gum came out. So imagine my surprise when I see this new brand of gum on the shelves at target with part of my online name in it! I was curious so I tried it...and haven't stop chewing it since.

I used to chew Trident sugar-free bubble gum but since trying Orbit, I have said goodbye to anything made by Trident. 

Orbit Bubblemint gum has a unique flavor all its own. Most of Orbit's gums have the min flavoring in them, but when that minty flavor is paired with the classic bubblegum flavor, it's like nothing I have ever tasted before. It's smooth, a little creamy, but just minty enough to tingle the tongue for the first 15-20 minutes.

Orbit Bubblemint bubblegum also has long-lasting taste. I can chew a stick for a good hour and still have flavor. I also like how strong the bubbles are. I love blowing bubbles for the kids in my classroom and we often have bubble-blowing contests with Orbit Bubblemint gum after lunch. Each child gets to chew a stick of gum after lunch to help with the cleaning off of food particles. Their favorite part is seeing who can blow the biggest bubbles!

The only bad thing about sugar-free gums are the amount of Xylitol in them. Xylitol is known to cause intestinal gas...and Orbit Bubblemint gum causes some intestinal gas from time to time. The gas is not painful or uncomfortable, but can be a bit embarassing if one is on a date or in a situation where intestinal gas would not be attractive or pleasant. Other than that minor flaw, I enjoy this product immensely and buy it in bulk.
