Hey, Frayed Wire readers! This is a review Josh made on his old site, but is now being moved here!
A food review!? Yeah, that’s right. I’ve decided to do a quick food review to get people reading about non-technology-related things on this blog for once.
Big Red Chewing Gum has been around since 1975, but its flavor was changed in 2001 to make it hotter and more cinnamon flavored. Not many gums have a cinnamon flavor, so that’s why Big Red has become such a hit.
But how does Big Red cinnamon compare to more normal flavors of gum like bubblegum or wintergreen? In my opinion, I like those usual gum flavors better. Big Red doesn’t taste bad at all, but it can be a bit spicy to the point where it numbs your taste buds and you can’t really recognize the cinnamon flavor anymore. Other gum flavors don’t do that, and you can recognize their respective tastes for a long while after you first start chewing it (of course, the length of the taste depends on the gum). The Big Red taste lasts for a while, but you can’t taste it for that whole time because it messes up your taste buds with all that cinnamon. Big Red is a good gum, but keep in mind that your taste buds will be screwed up for a little while after you chew it.
(By the way, I was chewing a piece of Big Red gum the whole time as I wrote this, so don’t say I’m making this up.)
Final Score: 7 out of 10
