Winner two: Kate Vos, for these lyrics:
“5 Gum”
“Did you see the way she looks at me, A honeybee got two lives and she’s got me;
I tried to love her back, And then I shrunk back into my wrap, And in the pack of my 5gum, I hope I’m not the only one; Did you see the way she looks at me,
She’s got an eye for an awkward guy like me.”
Ultimately, we tried to select winners on merit, but there were too many of you. Winners were selected via lucky draw.
Congrats, guys! You’ve all won double tickets to the #5GumExperience in your respective cities!
