2.75 - Bubblicious Bursts: Sour Cherry Storm

When this gum was selected, the groans went out. It could be because the last "burst" style gum was pretty gross. Well, guess what? This one sucks only slightly less than that one.

Comments:
"I am torn. The gum tastes like junk for the first 15-30 seconds. Then the “sour” fades and it is quite pleasant until the flavor fades completely."
"Mediocre. Reminds me of a Smarties aftertaste."
"The flavor at first is just terrible. BUT as it dissipates, it is OK."
"Not so good, but didn’t really last that long anyway."

Comments:
"Unlike most Bubblicious, this one is pretty small."
"Meh."
"Before chewing, I unwrapped the gum and then dropped it on my desk. It made a thud. No gum should make a thud. Once you start chewing, it is OK, but then gets very hard to chew and hurts your jaw."
