Wrigley releases their unique flavor of coffee gum in 7-Eleven stores nationwide. Wrigley's Kona Crème coffee is a mild gum that packs a sweet latte flavor at first but dies quickly with possibly a hint of mint. Packaged in a classic brown and cream colored package, this product is designed to appeal to the coffee connoisseurs . With elegant writing and a serene package style, Wrigley's tempts the senses of the slaves to the daily grind.

It's a unique taste for those wanting the savory roasted bean without any ill effects. The product is naturally flavored with coffee powder and artificially sweetened to increase the sweetness. In fact, this gum is plenty sweet. Unfortunately the flavor doesn't really last. The flavor stays in your mouth for all of one minute and then it is on to the next stick. Those wanting caffeine or sugar need not apply here. The product doesn't contain enough sugar or caffeine to make a person jump.

For about $1.50 a pack, you get 17 sticks of what you can get in a cup for less than a dollar from any convenience store. This gum is worth trying once just to say you've tried it. After that, it's just a waste of money. You can get more out of a cup of real coffee.
