Feel free to ask, DM me, or leave a comment. I’ve apparently become a bubble gum expert without realizing it. 😂

I’ve been chewing gum since 2nd grade. In high school, it was already around 30 pieces a day. In college, it was frequently 40-60 a day. So… I’ve chewed more than 1,000 kg of bubble gum in my lifetime. That’s it. I have no idea why I calculated this, but now you have to know too. I don’t know what to do with this information, so now it’s your problem too. 😂

      Yeah and no, it’s not that simple… It used to be cheaper, and back in school there were also other sources - classmates . ;-)

      I don’t chew quite that much anymore - these days it’s around 20-25 pieces a day. That’s actually me cutting back. 😂 It used to be way more. Smoking would probably cost about the same anyway. 😅

    Well, that is certainly one way to mainline microplastics directly into your system I guess.

      Honestly ? I have no idea. At this point, it’s basically a lifestyle. But I do know that chewing a lot of gum started with a school prank…
