I normally really like Altoid’s various, “curious” confections. However, I recently picked up a little tin of Sour Apple gum and can honestly say it’s horrible. It’s not because of the taste either, it actually tastes really good. The problem is that after about an hour of active chewing it completely begins to disintegrate in your mouth. And the way it disintegrates isn’t appealing either, it remains in this amoebus like glob and begins to come apart on the edges and get caught everywhere. The regretful thing is, that the last two times I’ve chewed it, I’ve not been in a spot I could easily spit it out. I’m then caught between two challenges:
- Do I continue chewing it and try and keep from gagging on it?
- Do I almost gag on it trying to swallow it just to get it out of my mouth?
