Call this Chewing Gum category code: MIND BLOWING FLAVOR.
Definition: Flavor so intense, and so unique, that the chewer is transported into an altered consciousness.
Notes on this code: Although the special effects have come a long way, since the ’80s, this code remains the same: wide-eyed expressions of shock and awe.
