Chewing on Trident Layers gum

Gum has become complicated. The packaging is slick and the flavors are complex. You don’t just get bubble gum-flavored gum any more.

Wondering whether it was worth the hype and price ($1.49 for a 14-pack), I picked up two packages of new Trident Layers Gum. And my expectations were high based on the current ad campaign which suggests people would be happy to be paid in gum. It also promises “layers and layers of flavor.”
