Ice Breaker
Ice Breakers Spearamint is pretty much the best chewing gum of all time and space. Firstly, I love spearamint and wintergreen gum. On top of that, Ice Breakers starts out soft and stays that way regardless of how long you chew it. The exception, however, is when you drink cold liquids with the gum in your mouth. This will cause it to harden rather quickly. AND, once the flavor is gone, the gum still tastes pretty good (this sounds like they should be mutually exclusive, but such is the enigma of gum). It's not like a piece of Bazooka Joe where the second the flavor runs out, the gum hardens and has a nasty taste.
That's the stick form. However, the new cube form blows. Firstly, it has a crunchy outer shell which I find somewhat tactilely unpleasant. Secondly, the gum has a slightly different, less appealing taste than the stick. Thirdly, for ten measley cubes it's like $.30 more! The one thing the cube has going for it is that it has a nice consistency, though a bit more rubbery than the stick.

how did people express their opinions on things like chewing gum before the internet? and there would have been no way to have handy links directing you to the gum's website pre-computers either (not that a url would have been of much use 20 years ago).
God bless the internet! (not to mention all my e-friends that i probably wouldn't even be able to stand in real life)
It's true. Before the interweb, you would have had to listen to me tell you all this stuff either on the phone or over a beer. You wouldn't be able to just click my X and stop listening. If you could, it would probably go something like this:
"Ice Breakers is my favorite gum. It...."
"That's enough, Josh."
I don't chew any kind of gum, no matter how it tastes or feels in my mouth.
What happens is that I am ok for a while...and then at some point I realize that I am chewing like a fucking mad man and my jaws are all sore and shit.
No thanks.
