Trident Versus Orbit


After careful observation, and painstaking hours of chewing, I have indeed reached a verdict.
In the category of minty gums, my long time favorite has been Orbit Sweet Mint. It has an almost chocolaty mint characteristic, which isn't only good at that very exciting first couple chews where salivation is at it's maximum.....but the flavor lasts. And lasts.
However, as of recent, Trident has come in and stole my heart away with it's newest variety, Minty Sweet Twist. It has a much sharper, fresher flavor, and in famous words of Kramer, "It's like a circus in my mouth!"
This study excludes the cinnamon and fruity varieties. I'm only speaking about the mint variety right now. I do not believe that you can compare a mint gum, with a fruity gum. It would be wrong to even place them in the same category.
Sometimes, I just want a nice, fresh, crisp and minty flavor that makes me feel like a successful and confident individual.
Sometimes, I just want a fun, fruity sensation that can carry me away into daydreaming that I'm on an island laying in the sun with a cool xylitol breeze blowing over me.
And finally, sometimes, cinnamon is the taste I crave and nothing else will do. It stands alone.
Trident Minty Sweet Twist is the winner.
Any thoughts?
(asides from the fact I did this at work and obviously need a job with a little more mental stimulation?)

Tara, I must conquer. As of recent, I too, will be bold enough to say that Minty Sweet Twist by Trident, is my favorite...phew...there...I SAID IT. For quite some time now, I have devoted my hard earned money towards Sweet Mint by Orbit...but once my mouth engulfed the sweet delishousness of Minty Sweet Twist by Trident, I switched and never looked back.

I also must agree that fruit gums and minty gums cannot be in the same category. The euphoria that consumes one's body while chewing a fruitastic piece of gum is much different than, as you put it, the cool xylitol breeze brushing against my eyebrows that a minty piece of gum brings...

Trident is the superior of the two. Its flavor is more intense and its yummyliciousness lasts on and on.
