5 logo

5 is a brand of sugar-free chewing gum that is manufactured by the Wrigley Company, marketed toward teenagers.[1][2] The name "5" hints at the five human senses (with the ad slogan "Stimulate Your Senses" and "How It Feels To Chew Five Gum") and that it has 5 calories.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[3][4]

Products

Sticks of 5 gum (Cobalt, Rain, Flare, Lush, Elixir, Solstice, Zing, React)

The first three flavors introduced were Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon; second came Tropical and Berry; and in 2009, Winter mint and Bubble.[5] In March 2010, two new flavors, both named "React" were introduced in the United States along with the slogan: "Everyone Experiences It Differently".[6] "React" comes in both mint and fruit flavors. It was released in Australia in March 2011.[7] 5 also offers a watermelon flavor called "Prism", a green apple flavor called "Vortex" and a sour tropical flavor called "Swerve".[8]

A limited edition flavor called "Mutant" was released in Australia as a promotion for X-Men: First Class in May 2011. It was discontinued and later re-released as "Cirrus".[9] Also, in June 2012, Wrigley released Cobalt and Rain micro-packs, bottle and mini bottle formats. The bottles contain pellet style gum instead of stick gum in the standard packs.[10] The bottle format is available in Canada as well.[11]

On 8 September 2020, 5 announced that it would be collaborating with Razer's gaming beverage brand "Respawn By Razer" to bring 3 new flavors of 5 targeted towards gamers, claiming to enhance focus while gaming.[12]

Nutrition

There are five calories in a piece of 5 gum. The gum contains aspartame (with phenylalanine), acesulfame-potassium, soy lecithin, sorbitol, mannitol and other sweeteners.[13]
