Stride Shift Sucks Serious Ball Sacks



Okay, sorry for the rant here, but Deaf Sparrow would like to whole-heartedly not endorse this horrible, horrible creation of mankind's worst chemical poisons. So the idea behind this piece of shit is the gum changes flavor as you chew it. I didn't think they'd really be able to pull off something without relying on a strong flavor like a mint, which was verified by the box, which indicates this particular one shifts from berry to mint. Already I was afraid...

But okay, let's try it. Some cool sugar-free gums have been coming out recently, like one that tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream, at least for about five minutes. Berry to mint though? Probably not going to work, and by god it didn't. First off, this gum is pretty tough to chew. About three pieces in the mouth is a good bit and gives it some more softness, but for some reason at first it's quite a tough gum. So the berry kicks in. Cool, tastes like berry, pretty solid. And then...FUCK. So the mint kicks in about one second after you start and BOY does it TASTE LIKE SHIT. I mean, we're talking something you want to spit out. It takes about a good ten minutes to get used to the mint, so shocking is it right after the berry. In a short phrase, don't buy this gum. It sucks, the flavor shift only lasts about half a second and will induce bile from your lower bowels immediately. You're better off just buying a straight mint gum, because that's what this is in the end. Assholes.
