Advantages: Great taste, long lasting, good size pieces Disadvantages: Ridiculous amount of packaging
off with their Fusion gums, and then Trident have started bringing out all manner of crazy flavours, and suddenly it's almost impossible to buy gum in those thin soft sticks we used to have as kids. It's all in crunchy tablets now, with or without liquid centres. Over-packaged and over-priced, but exciting and new. I can't move for chewing gum stands in my local Sainsburys.
Needless to say, I've tried a lot of the ones on offer. A lot of the flavours are pretty much "hubba bubba for adults"-style, which I must say doesn't really appeal to me any more.
So after trying around and getting bored, I settled on the slightly more conservative sounding Extra Fusion flavour - "Peppermint with a twist of Berry". Frankly, it sounded disgusting, but it was cheaper than Trident and sounded more interesting than the massive pack of boring ...
Advantages: Pleasant flavour. Nice concept. Disadvantages: No staying power. Goes hard quite quickly.
INTRODUCTION
I?m not much of a gum muncher, but I keep a packet or two in the car, mainly to curb hunger pangs and deal with dubious breath emergencies. When I was growing up, my choices were confined to Wrigley?s Peppermint, Spearmint and Juicy Fruit, with the occasional treat of supervised bubblegum (it stuck to everything). These days, supermarkets stock a bewildering display of gum, in all sorts of flavours and varieties. I was bored with the steady diet of Extra and Orbit mint-type gums, so, looking for something different, I found myself drawn to the colourful packaging of the ?New? Wrigley?s Extra Fusion range. The Fusion range claims that it is ?Bringing together flavours for a fresh taste experience?.
This review is predominantly about the Strawberry Peach flavour.

Advantages: Quick service, well packed parcel, nice prices Disadvantages: I can't think of any
I do a lot of online shopping for the same reasons as most other people - price, convenience, choice and so on. When my new laptop began to overheat due to excessive gaming (!!!) I discovered it was possible to buy laptop cooling pads (more on that coming soon...no, really, I promise:).
Now, I was impatient to get back to the gaming, and had a browse on several sites for the said cooling products with the intention of popping out to a shop beginning with C that is located not far from me, but then I noticed the prices they were charging - two to three times as much as non-high street venues. It was at this point that I found Digital Fusion, after using a popular search engine which I won't discuss here ;).
Digital Fusion is an online computer store, selling everything you would expect from such a place. The categories of goods you ...
