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.
That sounds expensive. Have you considered taking up smoking to save money? /s
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. 😅
You must be able to give oral for an eon without getting a tired jaw.
What’s your favorite gum that you’ve tried?
😂 I’m not sure about that, but I’ve built up some serious jaw endurance - and some jaw definition too.
As for gum, Hubba Bubba (original) is my favorite.
A classic, respect.
You do you, but that is too much gum. You must have jaws like a bear trap.
I don’t have jaws like a bear trap. The bear trap has jaws like me. 😂
Seriously though, my jaw is definitely stronger from all those years of chewing.
And I can definitely blow some huge bubbles. 😁
Isn’t it bad for the stomach acid?
No stomach problems so far. I only chew bubble gum, though. Regular chewing gum is a different story. Stomach aches and all that.
What bubble gum do you chew?
mostly Hubba Bubba or Chupa Chups bubble gum. Dubble Bubble if I can find it
So uh, why?
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…
Well, that is certainly one way to mainline microplastics directly into your system I guess.
at this point I’m basically 10% human and 90% gum 😁 But seriously - yeah, probably.
