I’m obsessed with Orbit chewing gum. Below are some flavors I have in my house right now and my thoughts about each one. Thanks to the cargo store at work, I have plenty of Orbit to last me quite some time!
Mint Mojito – This has to be my favorite flavor of Orbit. There’s just the perfect amount of sweetness mixed in with a tart, lemony flavor. I also find that the flavor lasts quite a long time with this one. The fact that this isn’t a traditional gum flavor also makes it appealing to chew.
Spearmint – A classic chewing gum flavor done the Orbit way. The aroma given off by this gum is heavenly. I always know when someone is chewing it. This is my second favorite flavor of Orbit. There is the nice mixture of sweet with a tangy mint that follows. I think this is one of the cleanest tasting gums on the market today. If you want fresh breath and long lasting flavor, pick yourself up a pack of Orbit Spearmint.
Wintermint - Orbit’s take on the classic ‘wintergreen’ flavor of other brands. I prefer this to any of the others out there. You have the classic wintergreen flavor mixed every so slightly with a sharp minty flavor. The combination is pure heaven. I find this flavor to be the most invigorating of all and I find that it really gets the mouth clean and fresh quickly. The flavor doesn’t last as long as it does with other Orbit flavors, so you may find yourself switching out the gum for a new piece more often. Aside from that small drawback, this is another solid offering by Orbit.
Sweet Mint – First of all, let me just say this, this flavor is SWEET. It’s almost too sweet. I think they need to cut down on the sweet and add more mint. Anyway, the concept is a good one but the execution could be better. That being said, I still like this flavor. It’s a nice break from the others every once in a while. The flavor doesn’t last long but the sweetness does tend to linger. This is not the best to use if you are trying to clear up some after dinner breath. Think of this as more of a flavor you would chew when you’re bored at work. Anyway, It’s lowest on my list of flavors because of it’s poor execution, but it’s still worth trying.
Maui Melon Mint – This is a new flavor by Orbit that I just picked up today. This is one of those hybrids like my favorite Mint Mojito from above. Here’s the thing, I love this flavor… or at least I did. I purchased this flavor today on my lunch break and shared a piece with my good friend Jenie. She proceeded to tell me that it tastes a hell of a lot like cantaloupe. SICK! I hate that melon with a passion. Now, it may only have a hint of that flavor but now, all I can taste is the cantaloupe. To review this flavor, let me say that it’s sweet, refreshing, and it has a nice tangy mint finishing flavor. I would recommend you give it a try. As for me, I won’t be buying another pack. I’m not even sure I can finish the one I have. Thanks Jenie!!
