Kirby Blend-Blend Mix Gum

Kirby Blend-Blend Mix Gum

(Japan Crate: June 2015)

[Japan crate description: Create your own gum flavors using the five included base flavors. Watch out for grey! It's a prank color that blocks sweet flavors from your tongue.]

Melissa Says:

You can be creative with this gum! Apple, orange, ramune, and yogurt are your choices, and you can mix and match to your heart's content. I went for orange ramune (basically orange soda), and it was really tasty. Very flavorful, and very fun. It had a definite orange taste, but I'm not sure what the ramune tasted like. 

But all-in-all, very good. Definitely would eat more. 

The best part is the last kind, though - gray gum that blocks your sweet receptors. When eaten with the other gums, you could get a taste of the apple, or orange, or whatever, without tasting any of the sweet. An odd effect. 

Previously, though, I had a chocolate cookie after chewing the gum, and I could not taste the chocolate at all. It's pretty fun to play with.

Kimberly Says:

This is another one from the original box that we had tasted before, so tonight it was no surprise.

The fun thing with these small gumballs is mixing the flavors to create a custom flavor: Want to try orange flavored soda? Have a blue one and an orange one. Apple flavored yogurt? Pink and yellow is the way to go.

Want to not be able to taste anything sweet, so it leaves the flavors of the others feeling strange? Eat a purple one.

Cute, taste, and the flavor lasts a...decent amount of time, considering the small size of the gumball.

These are gonna replace the ramune gum I currently keep in my purse when I run out of those. :)
