The taste is that of the very concept of soda, like drinking a cup of soda in a dream. Citrus, cola, grape, every flavor of soda coming together to make this ambiguous fizzy gum. I would give five stars, but last time I had it years ago it was much fizzier, to the point it made my tongue bleed after my younger self at the entire back in one go. Would recommend though, despite the lack of tongue-bleedingly strong fizziness. Very good gum.
