December 22 2005 -- Hi. Oh gee.

How exciting can is this review be? Someone came out with some new gum. Wow. We haven't seen something like this in a long time. How often have you gone through the isles of your local store and thought to yourself "Oh man, I wish there was yet another kind of gum on the market for me to spend my money on and chew on". Well, I guess enough of you out there have because once again we have ourselves graced with a new style of gum.



Oh man like wow. Two flavors blended together. Wow. That really is ground breaking. Never before has someone thought about doing such a thing. The person who thought up this one impressed his management crew to such an extend they put the product on the market and have left it up to us consumers to decide it if lasts.

Well, as long as people like me exist it will. Sitting in the line at the local Target I glanced to my right and there it was glistening in the indoor lighting. I picked it up, threw it on the conveyor belt, and knew that I had something special.. eh, at least I had something I could write about that cost under a dollar, as you can see I am a big spender for this website.

So, the gum, is it exciting or is it a dud? Let's bite in and have a taste.

The first thing you will notice is the nice liquid core. Each piece of this gum has a little gel like substance in its center. It adds to a very nice flavor burst during the initial process of chewing. It's like a splash of flavor. Maybe that is why it's called Trident Slash. Wow, look at me and my smartness. The flavor of the gum isn't too bad, either. Right now my mouth is a bit off but that's because I have been eating that 60 pound burger for about a week now and it's just about all I taste. I have had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since the weekend. Luckily today is the last day of that and I won't have to think about it again.

The gum itself is pretty generic after that initial flavor splash. 3 cheeses. It's not bad and it's not anything special. Get it if you are in the mood. Or not, really doesn't matter. You wont look back and say "Oh man, much like Pepsi Blue I wish I had a stockpile of this in my closet." Nope. You will just think "Hmm, wasn't there some gum once that some guy reviewed? Meh, I will just get some Juicy Fruit."



I need a nap.

December 18 2005 -- We are moved to tears by the size of the thing.. It weighed about 60 pounds.



Bringing it into my house it took up the almost the entire table.



About a dozen people tried to take it down.



We were defeated. Didn't even make it half way through.



The burger with a dollar on top for a frame of reference in terms of size:



We tried and tried but it was too much for us all.



Mt. Olympus won.



It's the biggest burger in the country at the moment. This diner and some place in PA are in a cold war for burgers. They have been going up a few pounds at a time and then Clintion Station Diner decided to release the nuke and make the jump from a 12 pound burger to one that weighs somewhere in the 50 to 60 pound range. It's name is Mt. Olymput and in the burger world it really is a god.

When you order the burger they give you two full bottles of ketchup. It uses 50 slices of cheese, 2 heads of lettuce, and 5 whole tomatoes.

It has about 81,000 calories in it.
