Yum Gum: Orbit Mint Mojito
I know that a lot of you Chowhounds love Orbit gum, and I just have to tell you that the new Mint Mojito flavor is quite possibly their best yet. It's a great balance of spearmint and lime. The flavors complement each other nicely, each making the other taste that much fresher. I wish I could say the same of the new Raspberry Mint gum, though... it's a pretty average fruit flavor. Go get yourself some of the Mint Mojito, you'll love it.

I can't remember the brand but I recently tasted a spearmint/melon gum that was hideous.

Yumm... will have to look for that. I love their orange & lemon flavors...

I just tried this gum, it's GREAT! It is mostly spearmint with lime notes under it. I agree with JK, it does make the spearmint fresher. I'm not usually a fan of that flavor.

I first found it at Wal-Mart. Try major grocery stores that carry the three-packs of Orbit before trying convenience stores, I think.

I saw the huge multipak at my local Costco this weekend. I prefer the lemon-lime so I bought that instead.

Oh, thanks for this tip! I'll most certainly keep a look out for it. Cocktail gum is genius.
I recently tried oolong tea gum from Tearrow and it was horrible. I expect gum to lose its flavor fairly quickly, but this lasted like 2 seconds and it wasn't a good flavor either.

This is very good gum. I don't chew gum very often but make an exception for this.

This gum is so good. Unfortunately it's ruined for me now after my brother-in-law told me it tasted "like a douche". How bad did I want to lick his arm and say "you know what? you're right!". Ah, family.

Just ask him how he knows what one tastes like.

Tried that. I could get into a whole other topic about in-laws that would get removed from the Chowhound Team.

I finally tried this gum. I didn't think I liked it at first, but that was only because I put it in my mouth almost immediately after I had been chewing Dentyne Fire soft chew gum. The after effect of the cinnamon made it taste medicine-y. After a few moments the flavor started to come through and it is really refreshing. I will probably continue to be a cinnamon gum devotee, but this was definitely nice for a change.

I still like their orange flavor the best. Then lemon, then mojito.

JK, this is maybe the first time I've disagreed with you! I found it to be odd, and I like most of the Orbit flavors. Lemon and sweetmint are my top two so far.

I liked the Orbit Mint Mojito ok. I found some at Grocery Outlet in Newark, CA for 89c a pack (14 pcs). Is that a good price?
pic attached.

The texture seems kind of soft. For extended chewability, I still vote for the sweet-mint and the other original Orbit flavors (can't remember the names since I only chew the sweet-mint lately.) They can definitly stand up to a good half hour to 45 minute chew when I am at the gym. Although this Mint Mojito tastes fine, I won't be buying in in bulk like I do the Sweet Mint.

I just picked up the new Raspberry Mint yesterday. It's delish! Reminds me of grape BubbleYum that I used to chomp when I was a kid.
