Wrigley’s Extra Cool Breeze: A review
As suggested by a few people on twitter, here’s my very serious review of the daddy of all chewing gum, Wrigley’s Extra Cool Breeze.
This delightful bit of confectionary comes in a very attractive metallic blue package, with an ingenious strip of red plastic which aids the consumer in opening said beautiful packaging. Inside you will find 10 pieces of minty goodness wrapped in a shell that crunches to reveal soft, minty chewing gum. The gum itself has a distinctly delicate mint flavour (what a cool breeze tastes of, presumably), and the wonderful flavour lasts a surprisingly long time.
But buyer beware, when you come to that last piece that has been at the bottom of your pocket for a couple of weeks (and usually through the washing machine once or twice), that amazingly crunchy shell will become all soft and icky (yes, icky is a word - so there!). However, this does nothing to impair the flavour of the actual gum, which will perform as expected. Result.
Wrigley’s Extra Cool Breeze is available from all good confectioners (or that skanky garage at the end of the road) and has an SRP of £24.99. Maybe.
