Babbles of a Lover and a Fighter

So…I’m a fan of Wrigley’s 5 gum.  I absolutely love the compartmented packaging, the little textured slidey tab, the various flavors.  Oh the flavors.  They already have 5 great ones:  Cobalt (peppermint), Rain (spearmint), Flare (cinnamon), Lush (tropical), and my personal favorite, Elixir (berry).  Today, I was perusing through the last-minute grab-a-snax section at HEB, and I laid mine eyes on this:

Now, I have no idea what this flavor is supposed to be.  I think the packaging said something about sweet and minty.  I tore through the plastic wrapper in the car, mouth watering in excitement, and decided to take a giant whiff of the freshly opened package.  A flash of Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream and a visit to the dentist ripped through my mind.  I tentatively tried a piece and was in for an awkwardly pleasant surprise.  It wasn’t half bad after getting over my initial olfactory overload.  I don’t know what it is, but it does kind of taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream.  I give it a thumbs up, though, just because of the uniqueness factor.  I’ll definitely, at the very least, finish this pack without a grimace on my face.
