It has quite a refreshing taste and is by far one of the best watermelon flavors I have ever tried although I found that after a few minutes the gum falls apart and you end up with smaller granules.
I’ve enjoyed most of these candies/gum, they are refreshing. I’m currently enjoying Hubba Bubba MAX strawberry watermelon gum! I was so hoping this was a contest to win them all.
Always enjoyed Jolly Rancher’s watermelon candies.
