**Introduction**

I have tried most chewing gums available on the market and usually just buy Cool Breeze but now and again I try something new. I was in my local Morrisons, picking up a few things when I noticed these Mentos Juice Burst. I had already picked my usual Wrigleys Extra Cool Breeze chewing gum so Decided to add these aswell. Whilst I had never tried these before I was willing to try them out. I knew the brand Mentos as they make a number of other chewing gum and mint products that I am aware of.

**The Tube**

The Mentos Juice Burst comes in a small tube which looks different to most chewing gums. Inside you will find 12 pieces of the Juice Burst chewing gum. They are pink in colour and quite large they are shaped a little like Trebor Softmints. The tube may take a while to get into as looking at it for the first time It was not clear how to exactly open the tube. But after a little inspection I managed to get inside them.

**The Gum**

As I mentioned before, The Gum is in Pink, let me add something to this. they are saucer like pieces and the flavour is "Red Fruits and Lime". The Red fruit juices contained in the gum are as follows Strawberry, Raspberry and Blackberry????. Putting a piece of the gum into my mouth I instantly taste the juices once I bite into the gum. This results in giving off a very tasty fruity gum which also benefits from the inclusion of Lime. They also come in three other flavours, These are pure and fresh, strawberry and ice blast,

**Nutritional Information**

These are sugar free which may be surprising because of the sweetness of them and work out at around 16 calories a tub, which is more than reasonable! You do have to watch how many you eat though as this product contains phenylalanine, which is a sweetner, but excessive consumption can cause a laxative effect. And you don't want that now do you.

**Overall**

Although this is 99p per tube, which is rather expensive In my opinion compared to other rivals it still has it's appeal and although it's not up there with my favourite gums around it is still a tasty gum that you should give a try. Put it this way, there are many worse gums on the market that I have tried. Oh and look up what happens when you put them in diet coke.
