Subject: Are you a gum chewer?

Written By: ADH13 on 08/20/10 at 10:21 pm



Do you have a favorite?

I used to be.  I liked that Fruit Stripe gum.

I find it kind of gross now.... aside from the fact that so many things can go wrong... you can swallow it, choke on it, get it stuck in your hair, step in it...  I don't think I've chewed a piece of gum in about 5 years.

I'm a gum chewer.  Always have been.

Favorite bubble gum is Bazooka.  LOVE IT!  I rarely chew it now.

I like peppermint and I also like violet gum.

I like to chew gum, but not when people can see me.  My grandmother said people chewing gum makes them look like a cow chewing its cud, Kinda had to agree.

My dad though gum-chewing was gross, and ^ that's what he always said it reminded him of.  Of course, he had no trouble stuffing his face with licorice All-Sorts while he read his Harper's or whatever!

That's what my big sister and her friends used to call Freshen Up.  I didn't know why...and I didn't ask!

Fruit Stripe?  I agree with Peter Griffin...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMwIr7oi4D8

I used to chew all kinds of gum when I was a kid, from Bazooka to Bubble Yum to Razzles.  My teeth are still saying thank you!
::)

I rarely do now.  When I do, it's Wrigley's Doublemint or Spearmint.  Any of the old-fashioned Beeman's flavors are awesome.  I'll buy a couple of packs when I see it.

Some of the great 80's commercial jingles were for gum.  Maybe that's why I chewed gum so much back then.

Bubble Yum suger free peppermint was my favorite in college (the pieces weren't too big, it was always soft, and the flavor lasted forever) but I haven't been able to find it for 15 years now  :P

I don't think I've ever tried Bubble Yum Peppermint.
I used to chew Trident Bubble Gum and Trident Fruit gum, but they have changed the flavor and I don't like them anymore.

This was one of my favorites when I was a kid, Gold Rush Gum.

They still sell Gold Rush gum in the US.  I haven't looked for it here in the UK though.

I like minty gum, don't really have a favourite brand.

As a kid I used to like Bazooka bubble gum

I do from time to time. I keep some (minty/whitening) in my purse all the time even tho I don't I haven't had it in a while. I mainly keep it in there if I am going to be "sociable" and want my breath to be...well...you know. Some, I notice the minty lasts quite a while (can't remember the brand). However, I have a TMJ problem. If I chew for a long time, my jaw starts to REALLY hurt. Once in a blue sun or so, I will have a piece of bubble gum and then I can't help but blow bubbles with it. I'm actually quite good at blowing bubbles but I don't do it very often.

I probably chew gum every day, but only for about 15 minutes, and then, like Cat, my jaw starts to ache.  It's weird.  Plus I just get sick of chewing it.  But I have been drinking these protein shakes that leave a really nasty taste in my mouth so I have to chew it to get the taste out.  I used to lovvvvve Fruit Stripe when I was little.  I would buy some if I saw it today.  I like cinnamon gum the best, but I like pretty much every flavor.  I really like Beemans.  My dad always used to chew it, and so I always buy it if I can find it.

I chew gum because I hate to have bad breath.  Mints are ok but usually leave a sour taste in my mouth after I'm done.  I'll pop a piece of gum in my mouth but I don't constantly chomp on it, unless I'm driving then I chew like a cow (I think it's a form of stress relief).

I like mint gum or cinnamon. 

Favorites:
Ice Breakers Peppermint stick gum
Big Red
Wrigley's 5 Spearmint
Dentyne Classic - I can't seem to find this anywhere.  I like this gum BUT it kinda squeaks when I chew it. :D

Sometimes I chew bubble gum. I like Bazooka, Double Bubble, gum balls (small ones) and I like the gum from the center of a Blow Pop (I wish they just sold the gum.).

I will chew sugar-free mint gum but I do not like sugar free bubble gum.
