GrenadesGum - 30ct Bag - STRONG MINT GUM (Melonberry Slam) - Ultimate Fresh Breath & Serious Sinus Busting Power

If you don't know what grenade gum is, let me clue you in. Picture this:You wake up. Your life is mediocre. You smell like crap and can't seem to find the will to get out of bed. After a long time battling your own thoughts, you manage to get yourself up and into the shower. You get ready for the day, skipping breakfast because food is meaningless. Then, you smell your breath. It stinks. You look at your watch. Work started 5 minutes ago. You don't have time to brush your teeth. What do you do? You grab a pack of grenade gum. You jump in your car and speed to work. Meanwhile, you decide to pop a peice of grenades gum. You shove a handful in your mouth because your breath is unbearable. You start to chew. A subtle melon flavor starts oozing out. Then, all of a sudden, once you swallow some of your saliva, your sinuses clear to a level you've never known. Your brain freezes. You are so overwhelmed by the mint flavor that you struggle to keep your eyes open. You consider spitting it out. No gum should be this minty. But you stay strong. You keep chewing. Your eyes start watering and your throat grows cold. Then, just as soon as it started, it stops. The mint flavor subsides. A nice, juicy watermelon flavor kicks in. You look around. You've arrived at work. You don't know how, you can't even remember getting in the car. You smell your breath. Impeccably minty. The gum worked. And for the rest of the day, you're enjoying some refreshing watermelon flavor. Nobody can stop you.And that, my friends, is grenade gum.You'll get used to it pretty quickly.

I hated these at first, but they do grow on you.

These mints were too strong for my liking, but 5 stars because I don't want to trash them for promosing a strong mint. Personally, the mint was too much and burned my tongue, then gave me an instant headache. The taste was like as another review said, "a jar of vicks". I did not taste the watermelon at all. My sinuses were opened and clear, so that's one good thing about it. I personally would not try these again.

it does blast right away, the menthol blast goes away in 2-3 min or so. then it's a flavorless gum.Made in Taiwan is an odd choice.

Maybe it's just my palette but these weren't nearly the "grenade" of sinus-clearing mint that I was expecting. It's strong, don't get me wrong, but it barely reaches my sinuses and never actually helped in clearing them. The flavor is nice so it's gum I'll chew until it's gone but I don't know that I'd spend the money to buy it again. I wish it could be chewed longer before getting a little tough.
