5 gum EVOLUTION is a transformative chewing gum that promises the most dynamic flavor experience from 5 gum to date. This first-ever flavor-changing offering from the brand is designed to offer a sensory journey that begins tangy, sour, bright and punchy, then shifts to a sweeter taste layered with juicy berry notes. Altogether designed to keep all of one's senses stimulated and engaged, this chewing gum brings a new dimension to the brand's portfolio centered on flavor, aroma, texture and sensation.
This new, dynamic sugar-free product—a "sensory ride designed for thrill-seekers drawn to the unexpected," as described by Maria Urista, Marketing Vice President, Mars Snacking North America—is available now in 15-stick packs at retailers nationwide.
