3.80 - Wrigley's Winterfresh

Wrigley's Winterfresh is a gum that presents itself in a respectfully plain wrapper, with few claims. This is good because it knows itself as a chewing gum, and doesn't pretend to be something more than it actually is.

Comments:
"Flavor was good…spoiled by all these new flavored gums, the flavor seemed too normal/too plain."
"The flavor comes on strong and does last, but I feel it is a bit too strong. To the point where if you take a drink of water while chewing, you are blown away."
"Drinking cold water was almost painful!"
"Flavor was really too strong at first"


Texture & Consistency: 3.00

Comments:
"A little hard at first."
"The gum was incredibly hard at first, but softened quickly."
"The gum is very hard at first (to the point it could cut your gums). Once you start chewing, it becomes very easy to chew, but again due to the smaller portion size, it is almost like chewing air. It gets lost in your teeth. Portion is too small."
"Hard as a rock to start, quickly became too mushy"

Comments:
"My mouth feels cool, not extra thirsty. After having pizza for lunch, I can’t tell."
"It is refreshing and moist, and my mouth does feel refreshed when chewing."
