Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we follow.

Have you ever had the pleasure of sitting under a waterfall? I have. The continuous flow of water being poured on top of you makes you feel like you’re one with nature. The rumbling of the water removes all other sounds, except the thoughts in your head. The weight of the water is like your soul giving yourself a bear hug. It’s a feeling that you will never forget and yearn for when the stresses of life wash over you. So I’m pretty sure, the Orbit Mist Crisp Mint Waterfall sucks in comparison. (via Gum Alert)

Finally, a 3 Musketeers bar that honors Porthos’ body. The Musketeers say, “One for all, and all for one,” but Porthos was more like one and a half to one and three fourths. (via Candyblog)

The Arby’s Angus Three Cheese & Bacon reads like a list of things your doctor will tell you shouldn’t eat. (via Junk Food Betty)

Geez, shouldn’t this be the opposite? The King’s facial expression doesn’t change AT ALL, but Burger King’s Chicken Tenders keep changing. (via An Immovable Feast)

Samba Kisses Better? No, Marvo kisses better. Actually, Marvo kisses best because he uses a lot of Chap Stick to keep his lips supple. (via Japanese Snack Reviews)

I wish Orbit Gum would stop pussyfooting around it.

The girly drink flavors have to come to an end and they have to develop beer-flavored chewing gum. It seems like the next logical step for Orbit, unless they want to go all Willy Wonka on us and make a three-course-dinner gum.

I’ve even come up with beer gum names they can use for a small upfront five-figure fee and future royalties: Aroma Ale and Muddy Minty Stout.

Right now, Orbit has four flavors named after girly alcoholic beverages: Sangria Fresca, Fabulous Fruitini, Mint Mojito and, their latest, Pina Colada. Although, before they come out with their beer-flavored gum, I hope they introduce a margarita flavor, which I believe is the Official Drink of College Girls Who End Up On Girls Gone Wild Videos.

The scent of the Orbit Pina Colada is part coconut and part pineapple, which, obviously, makes sense since they’re two of the main ingredients in a pina colada. Here’s something not so obvious about coconuts and pineapples; they make excellent weapons in close combat.

The hard exterior of coconuts can knock out an opponent or be used as a shield, while a pineapple can cause brief paralysis, but it’s not due to its spiky skin, instead it’s from the shock of being attacked with a fruit.

I’m not a fan of pina coladas, coconuts or asinine news anchor banter, unless it contains the phrase “keep fucking that chicken,” but I really enjoyed the flavor of this gum. It has a strong, sweet pineapple flavor with a bit of coconut, and there’s a little bit of mint, but not enough to make me think it’s freshening my breath. After about four minutes of chewing, it loses most of its flavor, but I kept it in my mouth for another 20 minutes or so before I had to spit it out due to an almost complete lack of flavor.

While it may not contain any alcohol, unless you consider sugar alcohol something you can get wasted off of, and it’s kind of a girly flavor, I think the Orbit Pina Colada Gum is quite tasty and I’ll continue to purchase it. If you’re looking to add something different to your chewing gum rotation, this would make a fine pick…until Orbit Muddy Minty Stout Gum is available.
