How It Feels To Chew 5 Gum (彡kawaiigaythug)

In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “5-gum” is a rare card of the Memes World series 77, number 22901 of the collection, and the 64th best-known meme of its 142 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “5-gum” meme mean?

The meme borrows the ad’s sensory promise, “stimulate your senses,” and sticks it on scenes that have nothing to do with gum. It expresses exaggeration, clashing images and the over-the-top feeling of a moment. People reach for it to comment on something spectacular, a funny mismatch or an experience they want to present as out of this world.

Where does the “5-gum” meme come from?

5 is a sugar-free chewing gum brand made by the Wrigley Company and aimed at teenagers. Its name nods to the five senses and to the five calories in a piece, hence the slogans “Stimulate Your Senses” and “How It Feels to Chew Five Gum.” It launched in the United States in March 2007, reached Canada in January 2008, then Russia, Europe and Australia in 2009. The TV commercials were cinematic, built around “How it feels to chew 5 gum,” and those are the spots internet users re-edit with unrelated scenes and the famous tagline.
