Trident Original Flavor Is Not As I Remember It

Trident Original Flavor is not the original flavor I recall.

Maybe it's just that I've gotten used to Extra Peppermint and the occasional Trident Freshmint, but Original Flavor is not the original.

I thought it was straight pepperminty. I thought wrong.

Cinnamon is one of my least favorite candy flavors, especially teamed with aspartame. I think I would have remembered such a heinous flavor in my mouth. But there it was, in all its cinnaminty squalor, making my mouth more cinnamony than I'd ever want.

It's almost as bad as black licorice. It would be like chewing fennel gum. Yuck.

Kevin knows if he wants me to stop kissing him, he should break out the black licorice. That dirty black licorice-lover.

I, for one, am a red licorice fiend. The smell of an empty tub of Australian soft red is enough to make me recoil with pleasure. I often argue Red Vines' superiority over Twizzlers.

I am a red licorice snob. And I hate Trident Original "Not That I Remember THIS Original Flavor" Flavor chewing gum.
