Sours for your sucker

Sat. night I picked my honey-man up from the airport. Last minute, before claiming his fine bummy, I had popped in a piece of Extra's 'Polar Ice' gum to refresh my kisser. After getting settled in the car and briefly reacquainted, I introduced him to my latest find: Extra's new 'Cool Green Apple' (not yet featured on their website). He and I (initiated by me) then began a semi-very- serious convo about the lastest trend in the chewing gum and candy market - sour stuff.

Have you too noticed this growing trend? Every gum and mint known to creation now has a sour cherry or sour apple counterpart or some bizarre 'blasting lightning' lemonade flave. Even Altoids now has an entire line of pucker-up-yer-puss products! and Bubblicous? they have a number of new sour chews --Savage Sour Apple-- to get my salavary glands gushing! In one 3 hour-long class, I went through an entire pack Bubble Yum Sour Blue Razz Berry! <---That website is totally annoying, be forewarned. oh, and although that Blue Razz is AH-MAZE-ZING, it loses its flavor fast, as do most fruit flavored gums.

Anyhow, not only have I always loved gum (very good n' healthy for you and your mouth), I have always loved sour stuff since I was a kid... I absolutely love to have my mouth watering. Call it an oral fixation, whatever - I love gum and I love sour stuff. This new trend suits me perfectly.

The love of "all that is sour" runs in the family too - my mother's fam, we all love tart and sour stuff: lime rickeys, vinegar this and that, lemon and lime juices on or in a number of different drinks or dishes, Granny Smith apples, sour cherries, WARHEADS!
