Okay, so for this post, I am going to make 5 reviews on 5 different flavours on the 5 gum brand. So, the first on is going to be flare. Then, it'll be solstice, lush, elixir, and cobalt.
FLARE:
Okay, this is going to be the second best flavour in the 5 gum franchise in my opinion. When it first goes into your mouth, you feel a nice cinammon taste. The cinnamon taste isn't very strong, but it is significant.
After the initial taste, the cinnamon fades away and then a honey flavour kicks in. The honey soon takes in and then remains dominant. When you eat it, it gives you a very warm feeling so it's good for the winter. I think the flavour lasts quite a while and is an overall great gum.
Flavour: 8.5/10
Length: 9/10
Price: 8.5/10
Originality: 7/10
Overall: 8.25/10
Notes: Good score and 2nd best on my 5 gum list.
SOLSTICE:
Alright. When I first tried this gum, I instantly knew that i just paid for something overpriced. I am not saying that this gum tastes awful, but I could have bought the same thing for cheaper. The gum tastes exactly like the black coloured excel. Exactly. No joke. And, I don't really think it does what the commercial says. "Starts off cold and then hot." Well, I don't remember exactly what they said but that's the idea. The flavour itself isn't bad though.
Flavour: 7/10
Length: 7/10
Price: 6/10
Originality: 0/10 (C'mon man)
Overall: 5/10
Notes: Buy the black coloured excel one. The only difference is packaging.
LUSH:
This has to be my favorite gum of all the flavours. This is a citrus fruit flavoured one and that's why I like it. My only complaint is the fact that after a while, it melts into goo and tastes weird. That goo then turns into a viscous liquid and can flow anywhere in your mouth. Anyway, I don't have anything else to say about it.
Flavour: 9.5/10
Length: 7/10
Price: 9/10
Originality: 7.5/10
Overall: 8.25/10
Notes: Do not chew for extended periods.
ELIXIR:
So, this gum is basically a watered down version of fruit punch in the form of a gum. This is also a bit gross because it contains cochineal, or also known as red-40 which is a natural dye... made from beetle juice. Yes, the dye is extracted from a beetle, and the juice is red. The juice is extracted by squeezing the bug. Pretty gross. Might I also add that the gum doesn't last very long.
Flavour: 6.5/10
Length: 6.5/10
Price: 6.5/10
Originality: 8.5/10 (Never tasted a fruit punch gum before.)
Overall: 7/10
Notes: Not bad, just not very much flavour and too much beetles.
COBALT:
This is my third favourite flavour in the brand. This gum is a nice minty one and can last pretty long. This is a good one that I recommend for sure. Nothing else to say about it. Well, it is peppermint.
Flavour: 8.5/10
Length: 8.5/10
Price: 8.5/10
Originality: 6.5/10
Overall: 8/10
Notes: Pretty good. Not very original because a LOT of the gum out there is mint.
Well, that's it for now. This took quite a bit of time so enjoy. Sorry but no fact today.

I'm Back!
Okay, I haven't made a post in a very long time because every time that I say to myself that I'll do I later decide to put it off.
Anyway, a bunch of things have happened so this one is probably going to be a long one. First, I got a new game for my 360. I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and started playing as soon as I got home. I finished the campaign in around two days and it was pretty fun. So far I am level 26 online and have a couple of attachments for each gun. This maybe just me but I always think that there aren't very many maps to play on because they always use just some maps. I am somewhat thinking about getting a refund on the game because it has sort of lost it's allure for me and there is also a scratch that my stupid 360 made.There is a new game coming out next Tuesday called Just Cause 2 which if you haven't played the demo is pretty much like Red Faction Guerrilla. You just destroy a bunch of military and government stuff causing chaos. The map in the game is about 16 by 16 miles big and includes a jungle, desert, city, mountain tops, and oceans.
Next, if you've read my post about gum, you'd know that I'd like to try a flare flavored 5 gum. Well, one day I was walking through the mall and I pointed out to my mom a convenience store we just passed that they had a lot of flavors of 5 gum in there all in a line. That's when I noticed that there is about 4 packs of flare in there. The pack was a freakin rip off ($2.25) but I wanted to try it anyway. Later I found out that there were two different flavours released about a week ago and a thing holding five different flavours. Anyway, I'll make a review of the gum next time.
Next, I went downtown this Tuesday. First, I went to the Kenny v.s. Spenny house and took some pictures. The house lives near a small park filled with dogs, dog owners, homeless people, and prostitutes. Real fun park!!(sarcasm) After going to the house, I went on Bloor and Yonge and went inside a Louis Vuitton store (Filled with 7 people. A person that works there, a security dude, three women, my mom, and me.) After that, I went to the Nike store, Winners, and ended up going to the Eaton Center.
Here's something random that I did on February. One mourning after falling asleep, I woke up with my sheets missing. I immediately thought that I started to get warm and kicked the sheets off. I looked on the front of the bed, the back, both sides, and even under it. Soon, I looked in the closet for another blanket and found the one that went missing stuffed in there. Mom said to me that she apparently heard me talking while I put it in the closet.
Anyway, that's all for now.
Topic related fact!: When you dream, you can see, feel, hear,smell, and even taste anything! But to avoid any harm to the body, your brain releases things into your body to avoid any harm. If not enough of that stuff is released, that can cause sleepwalking and even causing you to wake up and be paralized for a couple seconds.
