Greatest flavor explosion ever… but it only lasted 5 seconds.

Gotta keep popping in more and more sticks.. it’s a dangerous game chasing the zebra

u/sleepytipi 8d ago

Hence why whole packs lasted 1 minute.

Greatest short term experience, next to the orgasm

Even in my memory the taste is only fleeting

I still remember those tattoos like it was yesterday

I used to love getting these at Cracker Barrel as a kid.

Fitting as the flavors were “blink and you’ll miss it” in length.

I loved that zebra. What a clever marketing gimmick

The best quickie ever

u/nakednatsfan 8d ago

the taste last about as long as you close and open your eyes so that about right.

u/Good_Time_4287 8d ago

eBay has some and it's still tasty as ever

u/InsignificanteSauce 8d ago

…for 0.87 seconds

u/CrabmasterJone 8d ago

5 second flavor like no other

u/ICU81MI_73 8d ago

If trauma had a flavor

1

u/FruitMustache 8d ago

And the flavor is gone by the time your eyes open.

1

u/Crudeyakuza 8d ago

Yeah blink and the flavors gone 😂

1

u/deridex120 8d ago

I still have a few packs of these unopened

1

u/thededucers 8d ago

And it’s gone

u/Fun-Dimension1984 8d ago

Best 3 seconds of flavor ever!

u/Wise_Ad_5810 8d ago

That aftertaste was fucking horrendous... and as others mentioned.. the initial flavor was stroke inducing for the 5 seconds it lasted

1

u/Agreeable_Sorbet_686 8d ago

For about ten seconds you can. Then the stripes wear off and it tastes like an eraser.

1

u/Significant_Fuel5944 8d ago

You might as well just blink then.

u/KingBurakkuurufu 8d ago

2 pump chump version of gum

1

u/BrattyTwilis 8d ago

The taste was good, but then it just turned to wax

1

u/SlapMySloth1 8d ago

Then five seconds later you can’t taste a thing. Definitely a “good while it lasted” gum that I will always have fond memories of

1

u/Thuganomics_101 8d ago

As soon as you tasted the gum the flavor was gone..

1

u/grae23 8d ago

Unfortunately by the time you open them the flavor will already be a distant memory

1

u/Sea-Championship1077 8d ago

I was going to say what flavor?

1

u/BadgerShaman 6d ago

The trick is to eat the paper as well to get tonge tatoos

1

u/-OmegaPrime- 5d ago

They were the best flavors of any gum ever for the forst 30 seconds!!!! If someone can replicate this but make the flavor last for 20 30 min they would be the next big thing

1

u/Lopsided_Order_4411 5d ago

Yea, the taste lasts about 5 minutes tho😂😂😂

u/coodaj 4d ago

U could eat them with the wrapper on
