Comments:
"This is a unique mint. The mint is good and they threw in something a little extra...a hint of citrus?"
"What a gum should taste like, but it’s oddly non-descriptive."
"Very sweet – almost too sweet. Some of the initial sweetness backs off eventually, leaving you with a pleasant sweet-minty taste."
