I bought some gum. It was on sale and it claimed a "unique mint flavor", and sometimes it's nice to have some gum around to freshen your breath in the middle of a long day.

This is the most ridiculous gum I've seen; it takes itself so seriously! Matte black package, "REACT" in silver letters, a lot of 5's on the package (I don't get it), some psychadelic foggy rich hues. Open it up and you have all these sticks of gum lined up in sleek black wrappers. Unwrap one and you have a charcoal stick of gum so you get to chew a nice gray wad. It's extremely minty but I don't see what's unique about it. I think it's trying to be man gum.

"man gum" <-- I like that.

I guess I'm not a real man, since I don't shew this gum. Actually I don't chew any gum... does that make me androgynous?

haha-- I don't think so... but if you decided to chew gum, perhaps you would be more likely to choose man gum over some girlie gum. ;P

TRYING to be man gum? That is the manliest gum I have ever seen.


p.s. I one time saw Pocky "Men's" in the grocery store. I believe it was dark chocolate.
