So what exactly is all this 5 gum talk about?
Well, you’ve come to the right place to find out.
5 gum is a popular brand of chewing gum that was first introduced in 2007 by the iconic
wrigley company.
which happens to be the company behind many of the most popular brands of chewing gum
on the market.
The 5 in the name of 5 gum refers to the 5 senses of the human body.
Thanks wikipedia.
But of course many people may already know that thanks in large part to the ad slogan
of the brand which happens to be “Stimulate your senses” the brand and slogan has had
a crazy amount of marketing behind it.
You see when you have a gigantic company like wrigley and have a new brand like 5 gum, they
really want it to succeed and have the money to do so.
To do this they heavily marketed the gum on tv with their unique commercials that made
many people familiar with the brand.
“How it feels to chew 5 gum” “New 5 gum, stimulate your senses.”
These commercials portrayed chewing 5 gum as being an extreme experience rather than
the simple act of just chewing a tasty piece of gum, which is what the reality really was.
when you really start to think about its pretty humorous to take such a simple concept and
hype it up to such an absurd level.
but regardless the marketing worked, 5 gum remains one of the most popular brands on
the market.
So popular in fact that the internet has taken the humor of the commercials and has created
a new brand of funny memes with it.
They’ve amplified the concept of the extreme feeling of chewing 5 gum to the next level,
mocking the commercials that many people were familiar with.

weird situations in a similar tone to the commercials.
Gaining popularity throughout 2012 and the following years.
But in recent years the meme has evolved to its most popular form when the same formula
has been used in video based versions of it, which became very popular on vine and on youtube
. The videos Always start with the statement “How it feels to chew 5 gum” and end with
the slogan “Stimulate your senses” just like the commercials they parody.
