Chewing Gum.
Is anyone as incensed as myself about chewing gum? Not just the fact that it costs 4 million big ones to clean up the mess in London, but how stupidly bovine you look as you chew meaninglessly. Oh yes, the stomach is constantly producing acid, expecting food which it doesn't get. So you're all going to die of stomach cancer. Ha hahahahahahahahaha!

I hate the stuff, it should be banned. Mostly because of the pavement mess. Everytime I see a piece (about a million times on an average 100yd walk down the High St), I think, 'there's another moron's mark'. I've NEVER NEVER NEVER seen any 'gum-chewer' dispose of his horrid piece of gum hygienically. They should have it stuffed up their arses.

I find it essential after I've eaten and can't clean my teeth. The specialy formulated crystals help remove particles and neutralise acid.
But yes people do look a bit "Vicky Pollardish" chewing it. I have adopted a subtle side-of-the-mouth-chew. And I always put it in the bin.

Gum? As a kid me and my friends used to peel it off the pavement and re-chew it. You wouldn't deny other children such a worthwhile experience would you?

Do you want to ship some chewing gum to Nigeria?

I love chewing gum, and can chew the same piece for most of the day. I don't look like a cow when I chew, however. I can't stand open-mouth chewers. And I put mine in the bin, too, wrapped up nicely in a piece of paper. Sticking the gum under the table or chair is in extremely poor taste.

No bed posts for you then, Ag :)

Actually it was probably before your time - "Does your chewing gum lose it's flavour on the bedpost over night?"
Archergirl
Ha! I did have bedposts, but never recycled gum overnight. One day was enough, more of an habitual chew rather than for flavour.

I think Jude is right, it's great for cleaning your teeth. I'm also hoping it's good for fresh breath because I love garlic :)

I pout my lips if I don't chew gum whilst driving.

Britain is the only place I ever been where people spit gum on the sidewalks to that extent. When I first moved to London, I stepped in more gum in the first week than I had in the previous 25 years. Then I learned to be more vigilant.
Didn't we cover this in the 'gum tax' thread a while back?

Probably James, but this is the stuff that's covered the land since then.

I see. It does build up quickly, that's for sure.

Now this is a really interesting thread, just like Radiodenver's. Chewing gum... I'd like to say something profound on the subject, maybe later.
