It’s absolutely frigid in Philadelphia and I’m seriously jonesing for some warm summer fun. While I can’t afford to jet off to some steamy Caribbean island paradise, I can try my best to think summery thoughts while I slowly freeze to death.

Orbit gum has made my summer day dreaming that much easier with their new Mint Mojito flavored chewing gum.

Before you even taste the gum you know that you are in for something different because the box loudly proclaims “EXOTIC NEW FLAVOR!” Usually that’s a bad sign and you end up with a product that is kinda gross COUGH mountain dew code red COUGH. Not this time.

I’d like to know what Cuban drug kingpin / advertising executive decided that it would be a good idea to introduce the boozey, minty, limey taste of a mojito to chewing gum. Yep, I’d like to meet him and shake his hand because this gum is weiiiiiird in the best way possible!

Imagine if you will Wrigley’s Spearmint gum mixed with FruitStripe gum only sugar free and somehow even crazier. That’s what this weirdness tastes like. You get a nice solid mint flavor but with each chew you realize that you also taste a subtle hint of lime. I honestly think that it’s the best gum on the planet.

So, I might be freeze to death today but in my mind I am chilling in Havana, mang.
