Vitamingum Fresh Peppermint

Vitamingum Peppermint

Like many other residents of the Midwest, USA, I was snowed in yesterday. This would have been the perfect time to catch up on some blogging, right? Although I had the motivation to work from home (I kind of have to, since I'm salaried), I never got around to blogging. Did anyone else get snowed in?

In case you didn't catch my recent review of Vitamingum Fresh Spearmint, Vitaball, Inc. kindly sent me samples of three flavors of Vitamingum Fresh. Today, let's look at Peppermint.

Vitamingum Peppermint

The packaging was nearly identical to the Spearmint flavor, only with oddly bright blue mint leaves for color consistency. Like the Spearmint, Peppermint had a strong minty burst, and a thoroughly chilled, fresh flavor. Again, it was an excellent breath freshener, though I prefer spearmint to plain mint.

The texture was bouncy and not too hard or too soft, and the minty flavor, somewhat subdued after the initial intensity, lasted well over 20 minutes. I'm still not a vitamin taker, and I don't know if this gum will change that, but I was pleasantly surprised that Peppermint (and Spearmint) Vitamingum is a good gum and not just a multivitamin.

Christmas Crack

Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe's are dangerous. You only have a few options when confronting these Oreo, Thin Mints, and peppermint bark hybrids.

Abstinence
Yeah, right!

Moderation
Only for those with a very strong will and non-addictive personality.

Fiendish Hoarding
These cookies are seasonal. Stave off withdrawal symptoms by hoarding. Twelve to twenty boxes should do you until this time next year. (Buy hundreds if you are a street corner entrepreneur.)

This is the face of an addict. It could happen to any one.
