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. 😂

    Team Gum reporting in!

    My gum addiction isn’t quite that bad, 6-12 pieces a day. My teeth are shit, so I chew gum to get between things unstuck. My number of pieces per day used to be much higher until found the right gum that tends to last a ridiculously long time without getting hard (even if the flavor is mostly gone).

    Chewing gum is also very handy for weed munchies.

      What kind you use? I’ve settled on ice breakers cubes for now because they last longer than other stuff but I’m open to new gum experiences.

        Store brand mentos gum (the little obloids) lasts the longest for me. The store brand has tons of mint and mint adjacent flavors which are perfect together in any combination. Weirdly they price the smaller tubs better than the larger ones on a per kg/€. I am sure I look crazy rattling a dozen little tubs of gum at the self-checkout.
