PRIZE DRAWING: You Need Gum? I Got Gum!
By Marvo | June 26, 2007
When a PR firm sent me the Wrigley’s 5 Gum to review, I found out how much gum was too much gum. Thirty packs of it is definitely more gum than I can handle.
If I had an oral fixation, halitosis or wanted to work on my gum sculpting skillz, the three boxes of gum they sent me would’ve lasted me about three weeks. Sure, I could pass the gum to the homeless panhandlers that hangout at the 7-Eleven down the street, but that gum won’t help them buy booze.
Instead, I offer it to you TIB readers via a prize drawing. I’ve got 18 packs of gum left, six in each of the Wrigley’s 5 flavors: Rain (spearmint), Cobalt (peppermint), and Flare (cinnamon). So 18 lucky random readers will each receive a pack of Wrigley’s 5 Gum.
To enter the Wrigley’s 5 Gum prize drawing, just leave a comment for THIS post with the Wrigley’s 5 flavor you want and whatever else you would like to say.
Please fill out the email field, because I’ll be emailing the winners for their mailing addresses. Don’t worry about the shipping, it will be taken care of.
The Impulsive Buy will start accepting entries for the drawing on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 and stop accepting entries on Wednesday, July 4, 2007 (11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time). Only one entry allowed per person. The drawing is open to ALL Impulsive Buy readers.
Sometime after July 4th I’ll randomly select the 18 winners.
Good luck!
Fine Print: The Impulsive Buy promises your email address will not be used to sign up for gay porn. The Impulsive Buy also promises your mailing address will not be used to send you information about speed dating events in your area. Bribes will not be accepted. The Impulsive Buy will not be responsible for lost mail, damaged mail, or you joining Scientology.

Wow…am I first, that’s crazy…Anyways I’d like the Flare cinnamon flavor gum. Also your blog is really cool and a fun read.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:21 am
Rain please
June 26th, 2007 at 2:43 am
Mmmm… Cobalt please
June 26th, 2007 at 2:45 am
Why does it always Rain on me?
June 26th, 2007 at 2:50 am
I tried, and liked, Cobalt. It tasted just like the car.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:54 am
I’d like some pieces of Flare, please.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:00 am
Ooh, ooh, ooh!!! Me, pick me!!
I’m a long-time fan who doesn’t usually post anything (just lurking in the shadows), but for some gum I’m willing to come out in the light.
I won’t even be fussy about what kind, since they all sound good to me.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:01 am
what’s that, Sting? you have something to say?
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
June 26th, 2007 at 3:27 am
I want Flare because my mother made me wear flared pants when I was a little, bitty girl.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:43 am
Flare please - I love cinnamon!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:52 am
Gum gum gum. Get in my mouth.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:58 am
I NEED flare.
I have such a lack of flare.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:00 am
Rain, please, as in ‘Let it rain, clear it out…’
(I hope that didn’t hurt my chances.)
June 26th, 2007 at 4:03 am
Rain (spearmint)
: - )
June 26th, 2007 at 4:24 am
Cobalt baby!
If we asked really nicely, would you sign us up for the gay porn?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:29 am
I’d like the Rain, myself. Cinnamon and Peppermint flavors of gum are usually just too spicy for me. Spearmint Rain is the happy medium. Thank you.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:35 am
I’d love some Flare, but I’d be happy with whatever I got. Beggars/choosers - you know.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:43 am
GUM! I’m already on a lot of gay porn, so it’d probably just be redundant.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:43 am
I’d like the Flare
thanks
June 26th, 2007 at 4:47 am
lindo marvo y tierno ace,
cobalt por favor
June 26th, 2007 at 4:48 am
Cobalt would be lovely
Impressive gum structure by the way!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:57 am
Let it RAIN in the club!
Thank you!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:59 am
I LOVE the Rain!
I’m teaching summer school to a bunch of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in an stuffy building with no heat. I NEED the rain!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:35 am
I need flare!!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:39 am
I’d like rain.
Not the actual kind, mind you. It’s too wet here already.
June 26th, 2007 at 5:48 am
Your blog kills me! Thanks for sharing it.
I can’t find this gum anywhere here where I live. I’d love to try the Spearmint or Cinnamon flavour
June 26th, 2007 at 6:07 am
since i’m stuck here in seattle i guess rain would be the choice for me!
June 26th, 2007 at 7:32 am
rain! But anything is good
Ty!!
June 26th, 2007 at 7:40 am
I DO wanna express myself and i don’t need 37 pieces of flare to do it!
I mean, I do need 37 pieces of Flare
June 26th, 2007 at 7:40 am
I have such “flare”
June 26th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Please select me. I am not trendy, but I would like to be. I figure this new hipster doofus gum will get me halfway there.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:58 am
Hi Marvo! I’d like the Cinnamon. Maybe it will wake me up!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:18 am
I’d like to try Rain please, Marvo!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:22 am
Yum, Flare, please - as far as I’m concerned, everything should be cinammon flavored, because I am just that obsessed with cinammon.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:26 am
Send me some Flare, bee-yotch
June 26th, 2007 at 9:03 am
Here’s hoping for some cobalt!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:13 am
“I do wanna express myself and I don’t need 37 pieces of FLARE to do it.”
June 26th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Thanks for sharing. I’d like Flare or Cobalt.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:27 am
Cobalt sounds good, but I’m not sure why they didn’t name the others “Iron” and “Nickel”. Some kind of periodic table copyright?
June 26th, 2007 at 9:30 am
I want one, any one will do. Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!!!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:43 am
Rain, thank you very much.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:50 am
I think I deserve a pack of the peppermint gum because my father used to crochet his own banana hammocks and wear them in public. If that isn’t reason enough, I really don’t know what is.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Cobalt, if I am selected as a lucky winner.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Flame please.
And the whatever I’d like to say part…
I will never forget the day I found TIB. I googled the name of a popular weight loss drink brand that I was doing marketing for at the time, to see if I could find any truth behind the rumors that it contains laxatives. And I found myself here!
June 26th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Flare please. or whichever one you think suits me best.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Is this where I sign up for gay porn? Can you mail me more information about speed dating in my area? Also, I never did receive the info about joining Scientology.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Flare please
i love cinnamon
June 26th, 2007 at 10:59 am
I’d love to taste some of your Flare, Marvo…
Thank you!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:04 am
I’m not choosy
I’ll take any
please don’t pinch me
in the fanny
(OK, so I’m no poet, alright?)
June 26th, 2007 at 11:19 am
Rain :O
June 26th, 2007 at 11:42 am
Wow, all of these gum chewers out there. Personally, I do not chew gum; however my dog is a big fan of ABC gum found on sidewalks. Delicious!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Which flavor? How ever will I chews?
Oh wait, what is that above??? You have ABC gum???
Cobalt please.
Or if I am third runner up, a MINTY FLAVORED CONDOM would suffice.
If it’s good enough for Marvo, it’s good enough for me.
June 26th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Rain. Rain would be good. This site is awesome!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:52 am
I love gum, pick me!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:54 am
And btw, I’d like some Flare!
June 26th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
RAINdrops keep fallin’ on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’
June 26th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
me want gums plees
June 26th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
Someone should care for Cobalt, so I do! We have icy breath in the Nordic countries anyway.
- And if you send me a packet, I will def “out” your blog as one of my favourite blogs in a National Danish Newspaper come late July…(not kidding!)
June 26th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Cobalt baby. Sounds like a chemistry experiment in your mouth.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
RAIN! i want gummmmm
June 26th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
You should pick me, and send some gum all the way to Missouri!
June 26th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
cobalt! yum!
this gum seems interesting. it is doubtful that it’ll come to canada
June 26th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
RAIN.
please sign me up for all that great gay porn too
June 26th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
RAIN for me, because I don’t understand what RAIN has to do with the flavor or the color of the packaging.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Cobalt, Marvo, Cobalt!
And is it male gay porn or female gay porn? Because if it’s male gay porn, no thanks. If it’s female gay porn, no thanks. Hmm…guess that question was pointless for me, but perhaps it might help someone further down the road.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
Yum Cinnamon/Flare!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
mmmmmmmm Flare for me please.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Hi Marvo!
Did you choose the 4th of July on purpose? I’m sure you did! And I agree : let us all greet the Transformers with minty-fresh breath!
P.S. I’d like a pack of Rain, if you don’t mind. There hasn’t been much of that in Québec lately.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
i’m gonna quit smoking (again).
when i don’t smoke, i chew gum until my mouth hurts.
flare, please!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
rain or cobalt.
so basically, are you trying to tell us that you were too busy to torture your tastebuds and write us a boardline explicit blog?
lazy.
then again i COULD go buy a pack myself, however i’m following in your sloth like footsteps and begging you for what resources you have.
June 26th, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Flare for me please! As for porn, you can never have enough. Or maybe that’s just me.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
I’ve always liked the word “cobalt.”
June 26th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
I love you.
Flare please.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
I like to wipe my ass with really fiery things and still have it smell as fresh as an Alaskan whale hunter, like oh..well I don’t know stuff: like PEPPERMINT(Cobalt) flavored gum. So Cobalt would be just awesome if you could send some out to me…
thanks bro
-Joshemus Awesomeus
June 26th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
Mm……Flare, please!
Gum=delicious.
June 26th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
Hey there, I’m not picky. if you choose me, I’ll take whatever you got.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:40 am
I’d be up for some Flare gum. Thanks for the the generosity!
June 27th, 2007 at 3:03 am
Cool! I could use some gum to keep at my desk.
June 27th, 2007 at 4:21 am
RAIN!!! thanks!
June 27th, 2007 at 5:04 am
Cobalt if possible. Thanks!
June 27th, 2007 at 7:22 am
nice! I’d like to try the Rain flavor…I love spearmint!
June 27th, 2007 at 7:29 am
Bring me the Rain, Marvo. Bring me the Rain.
June 27th, 2007 at 8:08 am
Pepperminty COBALT, thanks a lot!
June 27th, 2007 at 8:40 am
Flare or rain. I just got a sandwich at subway and it tasted like cigarettes and now I have some pain in my left oblique so if I’m not dead soon, I’d like the ash taste out of my mouth and I think some gum could help.
June 27th, 2007 at 8:59 am
Rain. I bought a pack of Fire last week and some girl said it looked like Axe gum with its foil pack and cool way of opening.
June 27th, 2007 at 9:06 am
Went golfing for a company and a pack of Cobalt gum was in the goodie bag. Our family loved it, have been looking all over to buy some more. The grand kids love it. They can chew it even with their braces on.
June 27th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Beggers can not be choosy. I will accept with a grin any flavor of gum you care to send my way.
also, you should review the monster m-80 energy drink.
June 27th, 2007 at 9:34 am
Spearmint. Yay random drawings.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:32 am
I’ll take some Flare. I like it because it reminds me of the final fantasy spell, although it’s usually considered non-elemental (not firey). Oh the nerdiness.
June 27th, 2007 at 11:01 am
psh, I want some rain! If I win a pack of gum I’m going to play a game of footbag freestyle with it.
June 27th, 2007 at 11:53 am
aww, am I too late? I’d like a Cobalt if you’ve got any left. Thank you.
p.s. I love your blog. I always look forward to reading the new entries and I pass the time at work by reading all your older stuff. Keep up the good work, my man.
June 27th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Hmm I’ll give this a try, just for the hell of it.
Lemmie take a shot at the Rain flavor.
June 27th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
GUM you say!? Seriously, I have a terrible gum addiction. One sometimes two packs a day when I’m on a bender. I’ll take anything you’re willing to give away.
June 27th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Finally! A contest in the States that doesn’t have a disclaimer barring Canadian entries
Technically I can’t chew gum because of the braces and all, but I’m so competitive, I’m entering anyway (PS - I promise to give my gum away to some deserving soul. Or perhaps offer it to my next date).
June 27th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
If the spearmint is called “Rain”, and it usually associated with the color green….wouldn’t it make more sense to call it ACID Rain? Maybe it’s just me. Aside from that, I call Flare
June 27th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
Cobalt please!
Thanks a bunch!
June 27th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
cobalt! no, wait, Rain! no, Cobalt! Damn these creative names that make no sense at all in context! Is the rain flavored gum of the tropical storm persuasion? Or flavored more like freak-wedding-day-rain-storm rain? You know what? I choose rain!
June 27th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Gotta go for Cobalt. Would not complain if I got a Chevy Cobalt for free but some gum would be nice.
June 27th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Flare please. Love the site.
June 27th, 2007 at 6:00 pm
Rain please!
mmm spearmint.
by the way you are hilarious!
June 27th, 2007 at 6:13 pm
Being the long time lurker that I am, I figure it’s a good time to beg for free goodies.
I’d like the peppermint flavor, I can’t remember what it’s called, and I’m far too lazy to scroll all the way up to look.
June 27th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
help i need gum, to get the taste of all the news about paris hilton, dick cheney, george bush,scotter libbly, well u see where i’m going with this. any flavor is ok, i got this taste in my mouth like a roll of dimes that was used in a south american bar club or worse! i will stop with this just as soon as the gum shows up.
June 27th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Make it rain please.
June 27th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
cobalt!
June 28th, 2007 at 12:31 am
cobalt FTW
June 28th, 2007 at 2:09 am
I want Rain!!
June 28th, 2007 at 2:45 am
I always wanted to go to Hawaii but couldn’t afford it.
Maybe if I chew your gum I’ll get closer to my goal.
Before you send it to me, could you show it around the island a little bit?
June 28th, 2007 at 3:25 am
Sure, I liek gum. Why not?
June 28th, 2007 at 4:34 am
Cobalt bitte.
June 28th, 2007 at 6:47 am
ooh - cobalt, please.
June 28th, 2007 at 7:42 am
I sure could go for the cinnamon gum. I love reading your reviews, often I make my friends read them also, and although they give me a hard time, after they read the review, they realize that I was right all along.
June 28th, 2007 at 8:08 am
Rain or Flare for me! Mmmmm…gum.
June 28th, 2007 at 9:31 am
I have a suspicion that if it were raining here, it would not be 98 degrees.
Will you send me some rain before I melt?
June 28th, 2007 at 9:34 am
In the words of Beavis and Butthead: Yes! Yes! Fire! Fire!
June 28th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Yumm.. Flare sounds good.
June 28th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Damn, I was going to make an Office Space joke, but it seems that a bunch of people already have.
I’ll just take flare, please.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
i live in the middle of nowhere, and the only freakin albertsons thats near me only carries damn juicy fruit and eclipse.
but getting some of this snazzy gum would be cool.
Cobalt yo.
June 28th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Can I chew gum with 4 teeth in my mouth ?
June 28th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Rain… Your blog rocks!!!
June 28th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Flare for me too, but what a dumb name — all the other fiery names were taken?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Toss me some of that Cobalt, son.
TIB4Lyfe.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
I’m not picky! I’ll take any flavor. Your site rocks!
June 28th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
Southern California needs some Rain.
Your blog is teh secks.
June 28th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
If I’m a winner I’ll enjoy whatever flavor is sent.
Thanks!
June 28th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
only ninjas chew Cobalt peppermint.
toss me some yo.
June 28th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
Rain. Rain.
I don’t think we have those flavours here yet. You sure if i am picked, you’ll send it all the way to HK???
June 29th, 2007 at 3:48 am
I’ll take cobalt please (those are dumb gum names)
June 29th, 2007 at 5:34 am
I haven’t tried any of them so if you would like to close your eyes, grab one at random and stuff it in the mailer that would be fine by me.
June 29th, 2007 at 9:43 am
Rain please! I will chew it during my quest to purchase those amazing Fr00t L00ps straws. Science.
June 29th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Rain!!
I likes gum….its good…..
June 29th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Hm… which might taste best: Rain, Cobalt or Flare?
Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, silver-grey metal. While small amounts are essential to life, it sounds less than tasty.
Rain seems pleasant enough, especially since I just hopped to the FAQ and noticed you were from Hawaii. Very little smog and acid rain there, I’d expect. But still, who wants a gum that tastes like water?
I’ll have to go with Flare. Flare is intriguing, as I’m not quite certain what, precisely, they mean by Flare– does it taste like a burny thing you put in the road when your car has broken down? Or does it taste like the singular form of a pair of bellbottoms? I’m personally hoping it tastes like the breakdance move, myself.
Whatever it tastes like, I’m willing to try it. *nods*
June 29th, 2007 at 10:54 am
So, I guess saying any flavor doesn’t count? Cobalt!
June 29th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Cobalt or whatever you have. Thanks for the drawing, Marvo!
June 29th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
PICK ME PICK ME!!
i like ur site. its my favorite kind reviews of misc. foods. and i want the cobalt flavor! =)
June 29th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
treat me like pacman jones and make it RAIN
June 30th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Oh RAIN sounds like my kind of gum! Thanks for sharing your loot with us!
June 30th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
#136???
I barely tried this gum, cuz the package looked tight, n I actually liked it more than any gum I have tried, hope I get picked, cuz im going to eat it all n fast, hehe
June 30th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
I like to read your reviews! Down to business…I choose Cobalt.
