lemon and orange? How on earth do they make lemon and orange taste *exactly* like bubblegum? Zebulin 23:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I never really considered it a bubblegum flavor, but I know of others who do describe it that way. Overall, you can't taste lemon or orange in it at all... Maotx 16:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I never really have thought it was bubblegum either, more strawberry and vanilla. But the "fruit" flavor is largely an X factor, it's possible I just have assumed it was strawberry because the soda is red. Also, it might be worth noting that the concept of bubblegum as an artificial flavor is very possibly based on the cream vanilla. 71.252.177.83 18:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Any idea what the proper name for the flavor that 'plain' pink bubblegum is? I was looking for an article that might describe the constituents of that flavor but the bubblegum article and chewing gum article was no help at all. Zebulin 19:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

If it was not red I don't think people would associate it with bubble gum flavor. It does not taste like bubble gum to me. Until I had read this article I had assumed it's flavor was entirely artificial. It does have a fruit like flavor, it's not bitter or sour. It is sweet, but light. The scent you pickup after a sip registers nothing like bubble gum. I don't think there is any way to accurately describe it's flavor. Big Red tastes like Big Red, you will just have to try it. It is definately something worth trying. Koft 09:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

"Bubble Gum" flavor was used descriptively in the article because that's how the flavor is often described in the media, so it is the only verfiable descrip I could find. --BizMgr (talk) 17:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
