Wrigley's 5 Tempest-A Luscious Watermelon

Okay people, here's a question: Had you ate a watermelon-flavoured chewing gum? Some people will probably say that they don't get it what am I talking about. I suppose it's time for me to say about the watermelon flavour, as I'm writing about the 5 gum "Tempest" and "A Luscious Watermelon" subtitle.

Tempest is also known as "Prism" in North America, "Turbulence" in Europe and South Africa. "Tempest" is used in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Hmmm... I think the watermelon-flavoured gum is called "Prism" in North America because it may refer to a transparent object which refracts light or the volume of water in an area between the high and low tide (tidal prism), "Turbulence" is a flow regime characterised by chaotic property changes, and "Tempest" refers to a violent storm.
Refract the light into red and green, no wonder why it sometimes called "Prism"...

Wrigley's 5 Pulse-A Crisp Tropical

I haven't blogged anything in a month because I'm too nervous!

Who knows anything about a tropical flavoured chewing gum? I think some kind of a tropical fruit flavour, right? Well for this post I am writing about the 5 gum "Pulse" and "A Crisp Tropical" subtitle.

Pulse is also known as "Lush" in North America while "Pulse" is used in Asia and Europe (except for Russia, which uses "Hybrid").

Wrigley's 5 Electro-A Tingling Spearmint

It looks like that I haven't eaten chewing gum for weeks, and finally for today, I've already bought one. I went to the local mini-store to buy some chewing gum. I've tried that Cobalt gum, then I was looking for a new flavour for me to try. I saw a chewing gum branded "5" (you've noticed that in my last chewing gum post) and the flavour is "Electro", not going to be confused this time, because it's subtitle says "A Tingling Spearmint" and I know it's spearmint.

Like Cobalt, Electro is also sugar-free. There are two names for Wrigley 5's spearmint flavour, "Rain" and "Electro", "Rain" is commonly used at US, Canada and Hong Kong packaging, while "Electro is used on Malaysia, Russia, South Africa and European packaging.

Wrigley's 5 Cobalt-A Cooling Peppermint

After having lunch at a restaurant near the wet market someday, I went to a mini-store to buy chewing gum. Then I saw a Wrigley's chewing gum which has a pack of 12 (or 15, well, I'm not sure,) sticks of chewing gum branded "5'' and the flavour is "Cobalt". I got a little confused about the flavour, but I saw it's says "A Cooling Peppermint", and it's peppermint flavour and I bought it.

Wrigley's 5 is a brand of Wrigley's products and it's sugar-free. According to the 5 gum article on Wikipedia, Wrigley's 5 uses the slogan 'stimulate your senses'. Stimulate your senses? Well, I'm not sure what does that mean.
