Now, I love clove, both as a scent and a flavor. It's pretty much the spice of Halloween (alongside anise). I had seen the gum in our queue line before, and had wondered whether or not it actually tasted like cloves or if "Clove Gum" was only a brand name.
I asked the customer if they had ever tried it before, explaining that I had never tasted the stuff myself. Without a word, the customer pulled a single piece of gum out of the pack and held it up for me.
I told her she was too generous, and at first tried to refuse their donation (refusing gifts is inexplicably customary for me), but upon her insistence, I graciously accepted the solitary stick.
I chewed it on my break. It does, in fact, taste like cloves.
The flavor wasn't super strong, which was almost disappointing, but the flavor had a lingering mellow spice that tickled my tongue.
Yet another product to fuel my clove obsession.
