Project 7 Sour Caramel Apple Gourmet Gum

Place purchased: Meijer 

Price:$1.00

Number of reviewers: 3

Appearance - 6.0

Each pack of Project 7 gum contains 12 unwrapped pieces of pellet gum. Both the exterior shell and interior are white. 

Flavor and Taste - 7.0

The Sour Caramel Apple flavor comes on strong in the first few chews. The flavor starts out as a bright green apple flavor with a more subtle sweet caramel flavor. There is some initial acidity, but not enough to be considered sour. Also, the acidity vanishes within the first minute of chewing. The apple flavor also disappears quickly, leaving the caramel flavor and a faint bitterness. 

B: Strong sweet taste from gum. Smells better than it tastes. 

E: Immediate burst of flavor - definitely caramel apple - acidic and fresh/green. 

Texture - 6.7

The Sour Caramel Apple gum has a normal, chewy gum texture. 

B: Standard gum.

E: Crunchy shell and normal gum center. 

Aftertaste - 6.3

The aftertaste is mostly sweet, with a faint caramel flavor and bitterness. 

B: Not really present. 

E: Caramel apple-y? Flavor fades pretty fast. 

Overall - 6.7

Overall, the Project 7 Sour Caramel Apple gum pulls off the caramel apple flavor quite well and is a great offering for the fall season. The only downfall is the bitterness that develops while chewing the gum. 

E: Surprisingly good!
