5 Gum Reviews

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.
