Razer Reveal Their RESPAWN Gaming Gum - Really?
Monday 14th September 2020, 07:18 | written by: Gabriel SciberrasLet's face it, Razer is notorious for going over the top at times when it comes to developing gaming products. Renowned for their April Fool's joke products, it may be hard to discern between a joke and reality sometimes. Indeed, Razer has just announced their very own 'gaming gum'. Let's get a short discussion going.
Elevate your play with a gum to maintain mental focus and reaction time. This unique gum combines green tea extract and B vitamins with the invigorating and long-lasting flavors of 5 Gum to keep you razor-sharp while gaming.
After developing their RESPAWN Gaming Drink, Razer is continuing the line of RESPAWN products as gamer-oriented consumables. Accordingly, they've partnered with the popular gum make of 5 gum. Supposedly, by being sugar-free, packing flavour and vitamins, it's the ideal snack to maximize gaming potential.
Three flavours are on offer:
- Cool Mint
- Pomegranate Watermelon
- Tropical Punch
If you're anything like me, you probably read the title and thought - "what a load of rubbish". However, if you sit on it, the idea doesn't seem so alien. In fact, it's almost commonplace for professional gamers to use gum during games while offering communication to teammates.
Yet, for whatever reason, the gum comes at 25 euros roughly, offering 10 packs, making that 150 pieces.
Personally, the idea of gaming gum is definitely rather silly. Although popping one might turn you into a headshot machine, I doubt it's worth the extravagant advertising behind products such as these. Besides, none of the flavours are entirely original.
The market of gaming 'food/drink' is still dominated by shakes such as G-Fuel which pump caffeine through your veins. I doubt there's any place for gum right now. However, there is great meme potential here.
