Brick Bubble Gum
Taste: Somewhere deep in the bowels of the bubblicious artificial fruit flavoring underground lab, mad bubblegum scientists tested their latest attempt to master artificial peach, and discovered... it didn't taste a whole lot like peach. But it was yummy anyway! So they approximated what flavors it probably tasted like (orange, watermelon, and peach, apparently, which sounds kind of gross but isn't), came up with a cool name (if a bit redundant, since I'm pretty sure all tornadoes are twisted), colored it blue (what?) and slapped it onto c-store racks as their newest NEW! flavor. It's interesting, and suggests nothing if not fruit--even if WHAT fruit that is specifically might be questionable--but it fades within five to ten minutes. Le sigh. If you chew it for too long after that, it also starts to taste icky-sour.
Texture: Popping a mouthful of soft, juicy bubblicious gum is a workable definition of bliss. Chew a little of the sugar out and it makes lovely big blue bubbles. Alas, by the time the flavor is gone, the pliability of the gum is much diminished and the bubble quality is impaired. Continue for much longer, and it gets awfully tough.
Final Notes: An appealingly weird flavor from a standby brand. Well done and fun to chew.
7/10

Twisted Tornado is my second favorite flavor, after Gonzo Grape.
