Summah Gum: Mentos Aqua Kiss 3D

Mentos Aqua Kiss 3D: A gift from TFids.

The first day of full sunshine and blue skies hit us a few weeks ago in Melbourne (has not really returned since FYI) and I figured it was a good time to start my Summah GumTM Trials in preparation for the real times ahead. So out came a gift from Tristan: Mentos Aqua Kiss 3D and here is my running commentary: 

Holy cow this is some elaborate packaging! I swear it took me 5 minutes to even open this thing. And "3D"? I do not understand this side of it. I like the shiny paper on each piece of gum, it reminds me of Christmas. I feel like if I was a kid on school holidays at my grandparents house I would save these papers and make some crafts. Okay onto the product itself, nice stripes and pastelly colours, though looks crunchy which makes me think this will just be a sugarbomb. Woah no it is not a sugarbomb it is making my eyes water. WHAT is this flavour? Mandarin? Oh Yuzu-Grapefruit-Orange, of course. I approximate it gave me 7 mins worth of flavour chew, then it tastes wrong(er). Like not even just losing the flavour, because there is even occasional revivals of that, but it just has a strange, almost toxic taste. It turns a light orange. Wait, what is AQUA KISS about this? Yuzu-Grapefruit-Orange is pretty far from what I would consider "Aqua" or "Kiss". I am not sure I will even try a second piece of this, ever. Okay I did try it on another day and here is my hot tip: it is not great as a breakfast gum right after you've brushed your teeth. 

IN SUMMATION:

• This gum is not one for me. 
• Although fruity, it is too confusing in its flavours and also possibly it is poison.
• I do appreciate the shiny paper but the rest of the packaging was difficult.
• Thankyou for the gift TFids but it is back to the drawing board for my Summah Gum pick.

PS. I got sunburnt on this day. Happy Summah!
