guess what flavor gum I am chewing? Coffee! No, really.

Wrigley brand, too. Found it at a convenience store today.

Coffee gum with no caffeine? Weird.

Uh oh. That kind of gum will turn you into a blueberry.

Quick! To the juicing room!

Hey, I got some of that over Christmas! At a highway gas station somewhere in Indiana.

The flavor's actually pretty good -- nice coffee with cream and a little too much sugar (hey, it's gum) -- but the consistency of the gum itself is kind of poor. It constantly feels like it's about to disintegrate, and it never quite firms up.

Brainwidth, have you ever had caffeinated gum? I've tried it, and it's uniformly awful. Caffeine tastes like chemicals (go figure) when it's divorced from its natural delivery system (coffee, tea, me), and it irritated my throat.
