When I cook this at work, people walking through the kitchen like to exclaim that it smells good. I'm pretty sure that's a testament to good frozen food.
Pomegranate is one of those flavors where, when you see it, you think "Ooh, I like pomegranate", but if given 5 different flavors without descriptions, its doubtful you'd taste it and go "Yeah, that's TOTALLY pomegranate". Orbit banks on this philosophy, and the gum merely tastes "fruity" to me.
