Trident Layers: Green Apple and Golden Pineapple


Wow. The first review. Epic.

This was the kind of gum my friend and I were trying out when we came up with this whole blog thing. Pretty good, I think! It’s mostly green apple, but not the nasty sour kind. You kind of have to pay attention in order to taste the shifting flavors, but they’re there! At first, you get a tangy apple taste. After about a minute or two of chewing, it starts to fade into an intense burst of pineapple. It only lasts a little while before blurring back into the apple flavor, but it’s pretty cool!
Some kinds of gum claim to be able to change throughout the chewing experience, but completely lie. Take Wrigley’s Five gum, for example. One of their flavors is called Solstice, and it’s said to cause a sensation of hot and cold in your mouth. Hannah and I tried this together, and both agreed it sucked. Maybe it’s just us, but whatever. Anyway, after that ordeal, I wasn’t really expecting much from Trident Layers, but it was really good! Looking forward to trying the other Layers flavor, Wild Strawberry and Tangy Citrus.

Let Me Explain....

My friend Hannah and I ALWAYS walk to Walgreens together. We only live about a mile away from it, so whenever we get bored, we arrange a quick trip. It's usually for school supplies, a last-minute present, or just for fun, but more than ever we go there for gum.
Hannah likes to experiment with different gum flavors; more than I do, anyway. I like to stick with one classic that I know I like, whereas she tends to get a different flavor every time.
One particular Walgreens trip, one that took place on May 5th (haha! Cinco de Mayo!), we had a big conversation about how we should go to Walgreens every week, try a new gum flavor, and create a blog about it.
Well... here it is.
