Mojito Mint... ... ... ...

I can't tell you how many times the following conversation has occurred betwixt me and a friend:

Version #1.

Me: Hey friend, do you have any gum?

Friend: Yes, but I warn you it's the grossest gum in the world.

Me: Hmm, what kind is it?

Friend: Orbit Mojito mint.

Me: Oh yeah, I've had that, it's gross. Why'd you get it?

Friend: I made a mistake, I thought it was spearmint.

Version #2.

Friend: Hey Char, have you heard of this mojito mint gum?

Me: Yeah, it's gross. People are always trying to get rid of it.

Friend: Oh... yeah.

Me: Were you gonna try to get rid of it by offering it to me?

Friend: Yep.

What IS it with this gum? The marketing squad really did a great job of making it look almost exactly like the most popular flavor, since I feel like 99% of my gum-buying friends have made this error. And if it weren't for these accidental purchases, I swear they would never sell any of it, since it's probably one of the grossest tastes ever. Which, I mean, is not surprising. Who wants booze flavored gum?

I've never made this error myself since I'm loyal to Dentyne, not Orbit.   :+)
