So today I was given a stick of melon gum. No specified type of melon, just melon. I opened it, excpecting a pink piece of too-sweet-and-sticky watermelon sugar.
I was QUITE intrigued to find a GREEN, tart gum. How unusual, I thought.
Then for the rest of the night I was thinking, "Why does melon have to be a specific color? Why can't it be left for the consumer to decide?"
Because think about it. Melons come in SO many colors and tastes… Vibrant pink/red watermelons, deep orange cantaloups (to be exact, musk melons), green honeydew and oh so many more.
Melon shouldn't be a flavor, unless it was a fair blend of EVRY melon.
This is EQUALITY for crying out loud! C'mon peeps, let's do this, Fairness for All Melons!
PS: I, personally, usually go for a mint (usually peppermint) gum, but hey- diversity is always nice, ya know??
