I’m a sucker, here’s why:
1) I don’t chew gum because I have TMJ.
2) Orbit gum is new.
3) Orbit gum was marketed heavily with weird commercials in San Diego.
4) Orbit gum was displayed nicely at a drug store in New York.
5) Orbit gum is packaged beautifully and different than any other gum.
6) I bought Orbit gum.
7) I’m chewing Orbit gum.
My jaw hurts.
I love this gum but the packaging I do not like. The box does not stay together and the gum falls out. The Crest gum falls apart after chewing and turns to mush.
heather is dumb, the boxes do stay together unless you’re border line retarded they hold up just fine, i base this information on absolutly nothing thanks for your time you jackass
We agree with Heather. We LOVE orbit, especially the two new flavors, but the packaging is annoying. The gum sticks at first so its hard to pull the first piece out-and then the others eventually fall out all over my purse or worse..to the ground when the back seal loosens.
As for Joe…..you’re rude, you’re the retard!

I don’t chew gum, but as a white person I am oddly disturbed/embarrassed by those Orbit commercials with the skinny blonde with the english accident who says ‘Fabulous!’ at the end. These commercials are not cute or clever and that…
The only reason I chew orbit gum is because of that chick in the commercials!! Does anybody know her name??? Let me know if you do

That hot English chick’s name is Vanessa Branch. Here’s the URL of a site dedicated to her: http://www.geocities.com/vanessa_branch
Enjoy!
Orbit gum is the best gum ever but just lower the price PLEASE!
Orbit gum tase the best ever lower the price!!!!***

Hmm.. Yes, gum and TMJ don’t go together at all. I go through random bouts of TMJ, though only occurring at night (perhaps stress?), and it sure sucks!
youre rude, ok dont steal a line from the full house elves to prove a point. merry exmas brainwashed idols.
I have no clue what Joe Bob is talking about! The package rips open throwing all of the gum into my pocket. My friends and I are going to come up with a prototype of a new package to donate to the Orbit company. Come on, I’m 14, and I am thinking these things? I thought that the makers would have thought of a much better package to stay together when it is open. :To the company: YOU NEED BETTER GLUE!: Who ever is with me on making this new package, I have three new prototypes and e-mail me with anymore sugestions. My e-mail address is ddawg5389@juno.com
Thank you for your time. My brothers, friends, and parents are all designing a new type of a ‘package’ ‘carton’ Bye.
Orbit is the best Ever!!!!!!!!
Orbit Gum is great! I agree with some others that the packaging is terrible and almost always falls apart. The first piece is always difficult to take out. I like the cellophane wrap on the outside though.
two words on the orbit gum
bubble mint.
wow.. you guys got too much time on your hands.. I was busy lookin for orbit online cuz the price but i ended up here. While I’m here, a quick way to fix the packs is to put a piece of scotch tape going around the lower part of each side. Peace.
I’d have to agree with Alex here. I think you do have too much time on your hands. To think that poeple would actually sit and write about gum is an amazing thought.
Then again . . . What am I doing? Sitting and writing about gum. I’m doing a research paper on Orbit. Yes, it’s about the best gum gets. I like the new flaves, but peppermint is still my fave. Ciao, everybody.
Oh, yeah. Joe Bob is a blasphemous ass who needs to get a life. The packaging could use a bit of work, but the design is really effective. As long as your prototypes keep the awesome look that the package already has, I’m all for better boxes. Slan!
I agree with the package….it sucks! The gum is great but the package always falls apart. Joe Bob is the one who is retarded…just look at his name! He must be from West Virginia and is father and mother are brother and sister!
hello sirs, i happen to be a friend of Joe Bob, and we live in Ellwood City, PA. We share a one bed apartment… we are gay, not retarded. A+ for gay pride!! (rainbows)
i love orbit, especially the bubblemint. I made a wallet out of the packages, and it has stayed together for three months, so the people who say it comes apart really are retarted. go Coldplay!
hahah go people whoe type about orbit gum
I use clear tape on the sides of the box to prevent them from coming unglued.
clearly if your orbit package is falling apart, you’re not chewing it quickly enough.
novices.
Wow. I thought it was just me? Now I see this is a nationwide problem with the Orbit packaging falling apart lol. I use tape too! At first I thought I was crazy, taping my gum box but now that I see I’m not the only one I feel a lil better. BTW Rachelle, your site is the coolest, I don’t even know how I came across it one day but now I’m on it all the time. Your pics are fabulous.
The most recent commercial features two gals practicing some martial art. One of them breaks a nail and cries out, “Chi’ Wa!”. I know thats probably horribly mispelled, but can anyone translate the phrase? My partner and I are dying to know what that means. As for the packaging, it does suck!! But the gum rocks. Long live Orbit gum.
I decided to try this gum just today. It’s good stuff, especially the spearmint. About the packaging, a lot of my friends’ boxes of this gum broke, but so far, mine hasn’t. Does it differ between boxes?
I want to know what the girl is saying in the most recent commercial when her finger nail breaks. I don’t speak that language and I’m sure it’s something funny.
I love orbit gum.I chew it all the time and my breath is always frersh.It is my favorirte gum in the world.I hope they keep producing it because it really is the best!!!!!!!!!
I am not entirely sure what she says in the commercial myself and have been searching the net to find out. I do however speak a bit of japanese. If it is japanese that she is speaking, she most likely said “shi wa” which is I believe like saying “Blood!”. As in she wants the other chick’s blood.
who the hell cares about a package so it falls apart…pick it up and eat it… some ppl are picky…and gum is gum…so get a life and stop talkin about it..that one 14 year old at the top is a nerd.. who the heck makes a new package idea…im 14 and i was researching and i kame across this and i was laugin so hard..funny how much free time you have.. GET A LIFE… and go joe bob for being GAY! im not but i like gay guys there fun to shop with lol
Sorry, guys. I like the gum but can’t stand Vanessa’s “No matter what.” I’m sick of fake-sounding British accents in U.S.-aimed commercials.
‘Chi’ is ‘blood’ in Japanese, not ‘shi.’
I figure it’s either Chinese or some variation on ‘che’ which is an interjection that’s often translated ‘darn’ or ‘crap’ (or their harsher versions0.
i would also like to know what this means. feel free to email me with the results (and go gay guys…im not gay either…but they ARE fun to shop with)
When are we going to see more Orbit commercials???
There must be an addictive chemical in Orbit that makes me want to get more. Anybody else suspicious of this?
I love this gum! And its sugarless! WHOOPIE!
Does anyone know if it lowers your breath temp?
I never realized that there are people out there with this much time on their hands!
Hey guys,
I actually am the Orbit gum girl. Thanks for all the nice things you’ve said. And for the person who said they are tired of fake sounding British accents, that is my accent. I am British. Sorry to disappoint you. Any way, keep chewing the gum it keeps me employed!

What’s everyones fave?
I found a site which indicates what the asian girl said in the Orbit commercial. To quote, “‘tchen wah’ means whore/slut.” http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=4847
orbit is my favorite gum..it’s all i chew…the bubblemint is the best, but the packaging is most definitely horrendous..like you’ve all said it sticks at first and when u finally get it out like 5 pieces come at once, then the box just kinda falls apart and they all come out…
new orbit ads are online here (and you can rate them compared to boring old ordinary ads!!!) :

What’s with the new girl? She’s just not “fabulous!”
I’m going as Vanessa for Halloween. Cause she rocks, so quit ripping on her!
“Fabulous!”
I’m going as the orbit gum girl also, I would love to compare costumes!
For the guy who said he “hates fake British accents” — I happen to personally know the Orbit Girl (I used to work with her sister) and she is a very sweet girl, and the accent is real!!! She is also fluent in French and Mandarin Chinese. I wish her all the best. And I love the Orbit commercials!!!!!
