message: This article points out that the price of 5 gum is $2.49. Are there any claims to back it up, and how would one know that it is $2.49 nationwide (or worldwide)? I think the price should be removed as prices can change and varies from store to store.149.199.62.254 (talk) 04:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This gum is not "a brief, but intense, oral sensation" it's a somewhat intense long lasting taste.  I can't find any documentation from a reliable source to back it up though.
Agreed. Definitely not "brief." Exigence 21:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Nobody is talking about the influence of the internet meme that came from this product? This could be a good topic to focus on.

message: The gum comes in a thin pack that is 5 sticks by 3 stacks could that be the reason for the name?

I think the name for the gum not only is because its "supposable" supposed to stimulate your five senses but also it's made by Wrigley who originally made the traditional "5" packs of gum and since these are also in stick form could that be the reason?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.35.6.64 (talk) 01:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I just bought my first pack of 5 Rain flavored gum.  Even though I truly love the lasting flavor and the great taste, I am concerned about the amount of phenylalnine in this product and how it would affect young people that may not know its purpose.  What if someone does not know that they have PKU?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.255.21.33 (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. 5, for about 5 hours of lasting, 5 current flavours of 5 (Flare, Elixir, Cobalt, Rain, and Lush), 5 calories, 3 rows of 5 peices of gum, (15), 5 5's on the side of the package. You can create a hole bunch of them. 24.203.182.78 (talk) 01:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concerned about 5 

message: Has anybody tried taking all three flavors at once? I just did, and Rain seems to be dominant. It's the only one I can taste (possibly Cobalt, the flavors are similar to me though). The cinnamon I can only taste very trace amounts of, and the lump of gum is a grayish green-blue with dots of red.
Anybody have a scientific explanation for this? 75.48.164.3 (talk) 11:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rated favorite? 

message: NPOV is not being remotely respected here. "This gum falsely claims..." "none of the flavors heat, "tingle" or cool" etc. Random targeting of hyperbolic advertising is ludicrous on Wikipedia. This gum also does not make one feel as though trapped in a giant thrill ride, either. It is neither the first nor the last brand to employ such forms of advertising, and these counterclaims can be summarized in the article by simply adding "the gum claims to" once in the intro paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.229.101 (talk) 18:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I know at one point Flare was only availible in the USA. But the article doesn't state it anymore, does that mean it is availible in Canada? It was said Flare was one of the three original flavours, but why did it never appear in Canada?
I cannot find Lush in Canada eigther, the only three that appeared in Canada was Cobalt, then Rain, and finally Elixir.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.203.182.78 (talk) 00:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Flavors 

message: I just purchased this new flavor at the Albertsons. The package said something like "a unique mint". To me it tastes like mint and a hint of black licorice. The gum wrapper and the actual gum is black. Does someone want to add it to the list?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.223.52.2 (talk) 14:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It shouldn't be added until there is a reliable source such as the 5 gum website. If you can take a good picture of it, that can probably work. ~ Richmond96 t • c 23:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: What does the color chart go by? Gum Color or Wrapper Color? Because Tempest in Australia is red with a red wrapper. But Prism in America is fluorescent orange/red with a lime green wrapper.

message: The article claims that Elixir and Lush were re-released as Beta and Swerve, whilst this MAY be true, I can find no sources, and in all honesty,, they taste nothing alike. Anyone have sources? I can email Wrigley. Glman99 (talk) 00:41, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
