TOD 2006/03/01 - Chatting about chicle

Postby hamster on Wed Mar 01, 2006 6:13 pm

Five questions to answer about chewing gum:

1. Should it be banned and all chewers punished by flogging until they scream?

2. Are you a naughty gum chewer, chewing in places you shouldn't and/or using the bottom of chairs or tables as your get-rid-of-it place? Or do you actually save the wrapper like the label says, to dispose of the gum later?

3. Does Gumby chew gum?

4. Do penguins chew gum?

5. What other questions should be asked about gum?

No! (Please.)

2. Are you a naughty gum chewer, chewing in places you shouldn't and/or using the bottom of chairs or tables as your get-rid-of-it place? Or do you actually save the wrapper like the label says, to dispose of the gum later?
I chew, but I throw the gum in the bin like you're supposed to.

3. Does Gumby chew gum?
yes?

4. Do penguins chew gum?
mabye?

5. What other questions should be asked about gum?

1) No, just the ones who don't dispose correctly, or the ones that chew relly loudly, or with massive mouth movements

2) Sometimes but I shouldn't, it gives me jaw-lock. I always use a bin.

3) Who's Gumby?

4) Definitely, look at their pavements, they're all white

5) What is Xylitol?

1) No I love gum too much plus when I have really bad breath and can't brush my teeth it helps to chew cinnimon gum

2) I don't save the wrapper because it is rather hard to hang onto such a small piece of aluminum foil/paper for so long But I'm not a naughty gum chewer and I think naughty gum chewers should get the punishment in question 1

3) Gumby is a small green clamation guy who was on TV to intertain kids
and he definately chews gum

4) how could they even dare take the one thing humans have over them

5) What's the square root of orange?

In response: 1. It is inconceivable that Pimienta could produce anything but the breath of sweet spring. That is Article Number 7654 of the Official Fan Club Handbook.

2. Does ANYONE follow the instructions on the wrapper and save it for later disposal of the product?

3. Is there any actual documentation of Gumby chewing gum?

4. Poor penguins have to stand in the cold for six months. Let them have gum!

5. The square root of orange is kumqat.

swallowing the gum is a habit I got into
though many think that it will stay in one's stomach for 7 years
I think that's just a wives tale and I will continue to swallow my gum

It is an old wives' tale. Swallowed gum suffers the same fate as fiber and other indigestible materials gulped down our gullets. I presume that no elaboration is necessary.

And while I must admit that I thought the girls at my high school who stashed gum under their desks were cool in a rebellious sort of way, I plead with all the world not to spit gum outside. I have heard and I am not sure whether its true or not, that birds will try to eat it and die.

well I think that putting gum any where other than a garbage can and swallowing it is gross

Have you ever stuck your hand under a table to move it and found gum there or a chair and the worst is a music stand
people have to touch that
and it's gross

Hey, I was just a teenage guy. I thought that everything girls did was cool.

I'm not sure if gum under chairs is grosser than stepping on melted gum on a hot day. That's about the worst.

I once had a job cleaning gum off auditorium chairs. We had to use this can of freezy stuff that made the gum brittle.
