3.83 - Wrigley’s Extra Fruit Sensations: Sweet Watermelon

Wrigley’s Extra Fruit Sensations: Sweet Watermelon is, yet another, part of Wrigley's gum line. This one is not only part of the "Extra" line, but also part of a sub-set line called "Fruit Sensations". We will start visiting the Orbit line of gums and take a break from Wrigley's after this one.

This gum claims “Long Lasting Fruit Flavor” & “Yesterday, impossible to fit entire watermelon into mouth. Today, not so much," which is pretty funny to have as a slogan.

"After 20 mins, the flavor was still noticeable."
"Pretty good. The flavor hangs out for a while."
"Not as long as I would like, starts to take on the base flavor after about 15 minutes."
"Lasted quite a while."

Comments:
"Very good for watermelon."
"Before chewing and knowing the flavor I decided to take in the aroma of the gum in its wrapper. It reminded me of what the empty bag of Fruit Loops smells like. Which I thought was a bonus. However, when I started chewing I did not care for the minty melon. I have never taken a bite of watermelon then nibbled on some mint leaves, so I am not sure why I would want gum that tastes that way."
"I like Watermelon and most artificial watermelon flavors, but I did not care for the taste of this gum."
"It actually smells better than it tastes (and this was hard for me, as I don’t like “watermelon” flavor)."
"Super delish! I usually hate watermelon flavored stuff but Wrigley’s got it right this time!"
"I'm not a big watermelon fan, but the flavor was pretty reasonable."

Comments:
"The Sweet Watermelon Flavor is much too weak, while the mint is opening up my sinuses."
"The watermelon taste is very strong."
"The flavor isn’t incredibly strong, but good."

Comments:
"Little too chewy at first."
"At about 5 minutes I did notice the gum start to toughen up, but not too much. It is ok, for blowing tiny bubbles, but the gum is very sticky on the lips."
"As with most of Wrigley’s gums, I wish there more to it. The serving sizes are a bit on the small side."
"Good chewing."
"Excellent chew."
"A nice, chewable gum."

Comments:
"Very enjoyable."
"I was surprised by the amount of saliva produced in the first couple of minutes of chewing, which I thought was kind of gross."
"This gum definitely does something to my mouth. My mouth does feel moist, though the taste is not that refreshing if you ask me..."
"Kind of dries out my mouth."
"It really 'watered' up my mouth. Kind of nice if your mouth was dry to begin with."
