Wrigley's- 5 Vortex Gum, 10/15 Piece Packs Green Apple

The local stores cannot keep this gum in stock. I love the slightly sour taste of green Apple and this gum does not dissapoint. Other "5" gums tend to become hard after a few minutes. Not this one - it stays soft and chewable. It really keeps my mouth from getting dry.

Just open the package and start huffing. The fumes alone will get you going. Seriously, these have the same acrid, chemical bite as a dry erase marker. PHEW!If you're brave enough (or stupid enough, after that smell) to eat a stick, get your trash can ready. This stuff is NASTY. Like seriously, seriously nasty with a hint of green apple. It's like chewing on a green apple stick made of gasoline. YUCK.I'm not picky about my gum, I'm really not, but I wound up spitting this out. When I dared a green-apple loving co-worker to eat one, he bit half of it off, chewed it for a few seconds, then said "Okay, I'm done" and spit it out.I suggested we keep it around for interviewees; it would be a great test of character and we could evaluate how our candidate handles the pressure of being offered a piece of gum and then discovering it was poisonous, but it didn't fly.Anyway, stay far, far away from this one.

It taste like Apple but only at first, then it taste artificial like An eraser gum.Only pro, is soft. Avoid this one.

I liked the gum, but it product expired shortly after package was received. Flavor was good, but didn't last very long when chewed.

It'll be a year next week that I quit smoking. Instead of a cigarette, I reach for this gum! Only the Green Apple will do. It takes away any cravings I have. I also have a hard time finding it on the shelves. When we do, we stock up! I just bought your last container!! Hope someone re-stocks soon.

Usually I love 5 gum. It's known for it's strong flavor that lasts and lasts. Unfortunately this isn't the case with this particular flavor. The so called "Green Apple" flavor fades quickly and you are left chewing on what seems like, a wad of flavorless rubber.Even the flavor while it exists isn't strong, and doesn't even seem to taste like green apple.Overall this is a disappointment, and one flavor of 5 you should stay away from.

Although the other reviews are correct: this gum loses flavor and texture quickly - I'm totally addicted to the flavor - I'd buy more in a nanosecond if I could. I'm really sorry that it's been discontinued.

I'm generally a fan of 5 gum--to the extent that a person can "have a brand" of gum, it's my brand. But wow, this stuff is gut-churning. Even by fake-green-apple standards, it's bitter and almost rancid-tasting. Maybe that explains why the flavor only holds up through about eight chews. It's a small mercy, but a mercy nonetheless.If you're a gum dealer looking to score big bucks in the collector's market ten or twenty years down the line, you should probably grab a case or two, because there's no way this stuff will be available much longer. Otherwise, you're better off chewing on your fingernails or old gristle or whatever you can find stuck between the sofa cushions. Or any of 5's other delightful flavors. Except maybe watermelon ... oh, sorry, "Prism." I think the person who names these things is the same person who taste-tests them.
