Red and Green =... Watermelon??



Now I'm a big fan of gum. Who isn't? Its the perfect relief for a stoner trying to escape cotton and who doesn't love the passionate feelings of excitement you get from the burst of flavor.  Same with any chewable candy for that matter. But the one thing that really kicks my bowl, is shitty artificial fruit flavors....and specifically the sharp obnoxious taste of "water melon" flavored candy. Unlike cherry, apple, or orange (and pretty much any other fruit) flavors where you can  somewhat kind of loosely see where it may have a slight resemblance to the flavor of the actual fruit, water favored shit tastes absolutely nothing like watermelon. In fact does anything taste like watermelon? No because it's fucking 98% water and has no taste. So what I wanna know is, who was the jack ass over at the artificial flavor company (or wherever this flavor was created), who said," hmmm lets take this weird pink (or red) flavor, and mix it with this green flavored shit, and it'll use the 2 colors of watermelon, so by default we can call it watermelon flavor." Well genius, it's not the same thing. The worst part of this crisis, is that every gum, candy, vodka, slush puppie, etc. uses that same shitty flavor as their "watermelon" flavor. Some company really's gotta grow some balls, and make a new watermelon flavor that either A) tastes like watermelon or B) isn't as shitty as the current trend in the industry. Either or... I'll be happy.
