Trident Jelly Bean Layers Limited Edition Sugar-free Gum

For spring, Trident has created a new gum flavour. This one is supposed to taste like jelly beans. I found it at Shoppers Drug Mart and, as I am a sucker for anything labelled "Limited Edition", I bought it!

The package (front)

The package (back)

I think the packaging is very cute, I love the pastel colours and the jelly beans on it. There are 14 pieces in a pack. For an avid gum chewer like me, that's not much! But it's a pretty good amount, in my opinion. Something I didn't like about this was that there is no nutritional information on it.

When I opened the pack, I was overwhelmed with the sweet scent. It smells like green apples and candy. I really liked it.

I found the taste to be very appealing although it did not taste anything like jelly beans. It tasted more like the pineapple & apple flavoured Trident Layers gum. You can especially taste the green apple. It's very sweet and fruity and a little bit sour. When you put it in your mouth, your taste buds just explode with the tangy flavour. However, it also has a bit of a bitter undertone, you can really taste the artificial sweetners. But hey, it's gum, right?

Here is the gum out of the package and wrapper. I love the colour of the gum, it's perfect for spring and just so adorable! The size is approx. 1.5cm in length and 0.3cm in width, just a regular piece of Trident gum. The consistency is, as you would expect, soft and chewy. This is very nice if you don't want dessert, it makes for a great substitute.

Is it worth the buy?

Overall, I would say this is not really worth the buy. It's great, but it's nothing special. The flavour may be "limited edition" but it's not different or unique in any way. As I said, it tastes very similar to the pineapple & apple flavour.  It's not bad at all though.
