    There is a lot of gum in my life, since my mother was part of the clinial trials for nicorette gum back in the day. Now she's addicted to trident instead of cigs, and while my lungs appreciate it, it's certainly weird that she hoards trident bubble gum in her car.

    Can not chew sugarless gum because it's loaded with MSG. Yes MSG allergy is real.

    I'm a notorious under-desk gum-sticker. Yeah, I'm the one who left gum on the seats in the movie theater and under the public bench, too. Apologies to everyone, but it's how I stick it to the man, pun possibly intended.

    I chew gum when I get anxious. I go through a lot of gum or else I chew my lip or pick my fingers way too much. So.

    Chewing gum gives me intestinal distress. Nasty, terrible, intestinal distress. That is not healthy.

    @Majrhoulihan: Me too. I need to chew it so as not to smoke- but I have to also pop charco-caps like they were Pez.

    Fuck this bullshit.

    I've been chewing gum since about the time I could read.

    By the time I got to HS - every day, all day, and I was a bored out of my skull straight C student. Oh yeah, I rocked it.

    College - b/c I was actually interested in what was being taught, honors/deans list baby.

    I swallow A TON of air when I chew gum, so I have to take it easy. Yesterday I chewed gum ALL FREAKING DAY and ended up with this really weird knot in my tummy that could only be soothed by belching a tiny bit at a time.

    I haven't chewed gum in 10 years due to TMJ and I miss it terribly. I loved the taste and chewed it almost constantly.

    I don't know that chewing gum is healthy per se but i do know that it helps curb mindless eating by keeping your mouth busy. And if you chew minty gum, it quells the desire to eat because all you taste is mint. Kinda like eating after brushing your teeth, ugh.

    Gum is my favourite candy. I love it so! And I try to chew it politely so as not to gross out all and sundry.


    Oh, chewing gum, bubble gum, novelty fun gums that cater to kids, gum that changes your tongue colour, and best of all, BLOW POPS, WHEE!


    I think gum actually makes me stupider, because I usually don't go on like this.

    My husband HATES gum chewing. I won't get a kiss, or even a conversation if I chew gum around him. He literally runs away. I subvert him and encourage friends to do it around him, when he can't run. Tee hee.

    I immediately think of the episode of House where the guy had chronic diarrhea because he was constantly chewing sugar-free gum.


    And I have TMJ and am always chewing gum. I should probably stop...but I've recently taken up coffee and don't like the after taste. DECISIONS!

    @shorty63136: Caffeine and gum are really bad for your jaw I hate to say. My TMJ specialist said I can have 1 cup of caffeine a day but I avoid it at all.

    For a second I almost forgot how oppressive school was, but this article made me remember all the times I was forced to spit my gum out right when the piece was gettin' good!

    I chew two packs of Wrigley's Spearmint a day. I also shit A LOT and it's definately related. But I can't stop chewing. I need rehab.
