Title: damn fucking gum
Post by: tacoma_kyle on December 29, 2007, 05:54:55 AM
Man this is why I never buy gum.

I get a pack and I open it. And eat it piece after piece after piece. I opened a pack of Orbit gum like 10 minutes ago and it as 42% gone. I dont know how people eat at steady, slowww rates. Regulated rates. I dont get it.


Yeah I was that motivated. So hows the gum been?

I love Orbit gum!  It's the best.  I also like mints and rootbeer barrels.

Good to know I'm not alone.  I can't seem to make gum (or mints) last.  I also can't suck on a lollipop or hard candy for long - I always end up crunching it.

You... eat gum? :) Well, I dunno... I don't chew gum for enjoyment, I guess. I chew it so that I'm not stinky. It's not uncommon for me to toss it before five minutes because its purpose has been served.

I like that dentyne ice stuff. It's just in its little bubble until I want it. None of that unwrapping stuff.

I did it once when I was like 11, other times as well I just dont remember. I recall when actually licking it I got to like 1130. My tongue was probably dry though lol. And small...

Halitosis,
it's so grand
Makes you stink
Kills your plans

But if you try
I think you'll notice
When you fart
It kills your 'tosis!

I don't eat all my gum at the same time, but I chew really vigorously and for hours. The next day after I chew gum, my jaw hurts like somebody punched me in the mouth.

I don't chew gum because I don't like it...mints are much better.

Gum looses it's flavor and starts to taste like spit after a few minutes and then you have to find something to spit it into.

Thats half the reason why I keep eating it---tastes like ass after its done so I gotta refresh my mouth lol.

I'm a white girl.  We smack gum all day long  :D

I personally love the Bubbalicious strawberry gum.  The flavor lasts longer and you can blow some mean sized bubbles out of that stuff.

I've only ever really chewed gum the last time I tried to give up smoking. It was nicotine gum, it tasted like rubber and it didn't work anyway. I just found myself wanting to do both. Don't really see the appeal.

We got the kid some sugar-free gum last week... the one that claims to keep teeth white and clean.  Since then, he insists he has to chew a piece of gum after every meal.  LOL!  Great advertising, eh?

Excessive amounts of sugar-free sweeteners, such as xylitol, can cause diarrhea.  

Chew with caution.

I only chew gum rarely.  I never really liked it that much.  But I do love Wrigley's Spearmint.

As a diabetic, I'm MORE than aware of that.  LOL!  

Funny story... a guy my dad worked with years ago switched from Big Red (which he chewed at a rate of 4 of the big packs a day) to Dentine cinnamon when it came out so he could cut calories.  THey worked at a printing press place so it was very busy at work.  After a week, the guy was running to the bathroom every 5 minutes.  When dad asked him what was going on, they guy told Dad he must have the stomach flu or something.  Dad brought him up to speed on the sorbitol (and any sweeteners ending in -tol) and the guy switched back to Big Red.

So far the kid has had no problems as we've told him just 2 pieces a day and he rarely chews it for more than 10 minutes tops anyway, if that.

Hey Smarmy
See if you remember this one.  When I was a younin, my folks would take us all down to the CNE in Toronto (I lived in Bay Ridges before the Nuke plant was built).  We'd do lunch in the "Food" building and I'd aways get a tub of the "double bubble" individually wrapped gums.  I would then see how many individual pieces I could chew at the same time.  :shock:  After the flavour died I'd start again.
Man the good old days.

Nowadays its whenever the wife decides the halitosis is too bad and hands me a denteen.

Look, put down the Orbitz and pick up a can of Skoal or Redman.  Just a pinch between your cheek and gum......
