Razer is launching its own chewing gum
With “mental performance boosting” properties
Razer’s dedicated foray outside of gaming paraphernalia is well-documented. Since the official announcement of Razer’s toaster, the company has released its own SUV, vending machine, and Pokémon-themed earbuds. Now, the company is investing on things you can put in your mouth. Razer is launching its own chewing gum.
If you’re in the particular subset of humanity that chews gum while playing games, Razer now has the perfect gum for you. Partnering with Mars Wrigley’s 5 Gum, the new Respawn by 5 promises more than just something to chew on.
The “mental performance boosting” gum contains B vitamins and green tea extract to supposedly keep you alert while gaming. For health-conscious gamers, it is also sugar-free and only has five calories per piece.
Though the gum itself is black in color, it comes in three flavors: Cool Mint, Pomegranate Watermelon, and Tropical Punch. You can purchase ten packs (or 150 pieces) for US$ 27.99 through Razer’s website. A single 15-piece pack retails for US$ 2.99.
For eagle-eyed Razer fans, the Respawn branding is a familiar one. Last year, Razer also launched a “mental performance” drink mix with the same name. As with the gum, the drink touts increased mental focus and playing performance while gaming.
Of note, Razer has committed to more lifestyle-oriented products in recent years. For its part, 5 Gum is itself a familiar brand. The brand is most known for its tagline: “How It Feels to Chew 5 Gum.”
