Gum

Orbit gum is my new favorite. It doesn't have a particularly strong flavor, but the flavor is persistent for a very long time. I hate stick gum that gets all soft and crumbly after chewing it for a little while. This kind stays rather tough for extended periods of time. Not to mention the box is a near perfect fit as an iPod nano case.



Another gum I like is one you're not likely to find in your ordinary convenience store. Watering Kiss Mint gum has very unique flavors and comes straight from Japan. While I was in Japan for 3 months the package and name just seemed to appeal to me and I wanted to try all the unique Japanese candy I could. This gum certainly isn't misleading when it says that it's 'watering.' I could swear that it makes my mouth salivate more than normal gum, but I've never done an experiment to prove this. It comes in a variety of flavors such as (clockwise from top right) "Clear Mint," "Pear Mint," "Lemon Mint," and, my personal favorite, "Apple Mint." Luckily, there's a big Japanese communnity where my Japanese school is which contains a fairly big Japanese grocery store.

I'm not a big gum person (as this post may lead one to believe), but I do enjoy the occasional chew of a good piece of gum.
