Chewing Gum
I never saw the point of chewing gum. Besides the fact that I don’t actually like the taste of the stuff, I don’t understand the need to chew. I just don’t have the compulsion to incessantly chew something for the sake of chewing. For me, chewing is an integral part of eating; if you aren’t eating you don’t need to be chewing. But, hey, that’s not really bothers me, unless you do it really noisily or with your mouth open. That’s disgusting. My real grip with chewing gum is people who don’t dispose of it properly. Under desks, on lampposts and on the pavement. Why? It’s disgusting, I hate walking on chewing gum and getting it stuck to my shoes, even worse I hate sitting on chewing gum and ruing a pair of trousers. And worse still is finding a piece of recently chewed gum on the edge of the table. It’s just disgusting. It’s not hard to put it in the bin, they even provide you with a piece of paper, just wrap it up and throw it away. Then feel guilty as it is non-biodegradable. You bad, bad people.

You know that swallowing your gum doesnt cause a giant ball of bubble gum in your stomach.
Itsa Myth!
It digests just like anything else.

I only chew gum when I’m having a mild asthma attack. Big Red for some reason really helps me get through the attack without having to resort to a horribly expensive possibly addictive inhaler. Save that big money burner for the MAJOR attacks I rarely have to deal with.

I’m convinced the gum under the desks actually held the tables together at my old school. And i chew it, because other wise i chew pen lids, and they taste horrid.

I love chewing gum, but for a bad reason.
I have this weird tick in my jaw I have to get checked out, but I avoid like the plague. I clench my teeth when I concentrate and after an hour or two, it hurts so bad it’s all I can focus on. So I chew gum. I’m not supposed to, apparently, but to me it’s better than drugging up on tylenol. I never did like the foggy feeling it gives me. Taking two normal tylenols wipes me out for hours.

At my primary school, once someone showed me a desk that someone else had broken the top off accidentally and stuck it back on with gum…. ewww…
I am ashamed of other gum-chewers for their lack of common sense … and we’re not allowed to chew gum in school. Apparently you get a demerit for it or somethin’.

I probably SHOULD chew gum, for the same reason as Poppy. I have a tendancy to chew on pen/pencil ends without even noticing. And unlike apparently most, I DO dispose of rubbish properly (though despite many warnings, gum just generally gets swallowed).
