Review Friday!

I thought I would start something new. I noticed some other people that blog do reviews on products or services they use, so I thought why shouldn't I give it a try. Every Friday, I will post on my blog, a review of a product I just bought or a service I just used. I hope you enjoy!

Product/Service Name: 5 Gum
Price: $1.50
Purchased from: Save-On-Foods
Packaging rating: 8/10
Actual product rating: 8/10

I really enjoy this gum. After seeing the commercials on TV, I was in the store and I saw it on the shelf and thought I would try it. I am glad I did. I will try and walk you though. After buying 5 Gum, I ripped off the plastic wrap which had the UPC and ingredients. I was left with a pretty neat looking box, and I mean that in two ways. One, it had a handy tab to hold the flap closed when not in use, and second, it was a cool little black box. Look at the photos below:


Inside each piece is wrapped in a blue foil wrapper.

There are 15 sticks of gum. The taste is incredible but the only thing is, it lacks strength (not "spicy" enough). That is more personal preference I guess. It comes in 3 flavors, of which I have tried just the one "Cobalt". The flavor does last longer than most all other gums, which I am sure a lot of people like in gum. One other flaw I should point out is that it is a little bit much for packaging (Foil wrapped gum held in 3 bundles with paper, inside a box, and inside plastic wrap), which I care about because its a lot of waste. Other than that I highly recommend you at least try 5 Gum!

OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!?!? Another blog post...

My apologies for that brief bit of insanity, but it was necessary because I am making another blog post! I KNOW! AMAZING! I just thought I would fill you in on my life up to this point.

First up, I got a job at Save-On-Foods! Yeah so now I can save and get that all important Sony PSP I want sooooo bad. I want it mainly because my friend showed me it when it was first introduced, and I was amazed. Maybe it won't be as exciting anymore because times have changed and things become old, but I will find that out after I spend my $170. If anybody of you have a PSP, let me know what you think of it, what games I should get, and also if the movies are good quality or sh*tty graphics.

Next on my agenda of things to discuss would be the music that should be playing right now (If you haven't already muted it). It's Edmonton's newest radio station, Capital FM. They play everything oldies, and as everyone assumes, it's meant as a replacement to Cool880 which is going to switch to all news format. I liked Cool880 but never gave much of my loyalty to it. That's why I thought I would become loyal to the newest addition Capital FM. One thing I was uber-impressed by was the "jingle" I heard just 10 or so minutes ago. It was something like "Capital FM, Sherwood Park's radio station.". I know Capital FM is based from Edmonton, as are all the stations I get, yet I have never heard any other stations refer to Sherwood Park as one of there listeners. It's nice to know that at least one station realizes they serve communities surrounding Edmonton as well!

In closing I wish to apologize to the other members of CPTDB.ca for my abrupt departure from the board. As I stated before I "boiled over" and needed a break, and I will be coming back as soon as I can. Please realize this had nothing to do with anybody from the board, rather from my school, job, and family life colliding all at once. I am hoping I can be back... well maybe even today! Hope to talk to you all soon!
