I hate chewing gum...I haven't chew gum in years... Plus idiots always live it on chairs or on desks...It's a pleasure when I get it on my clothes...

no, I am not a gum chewer. Not only does it hurt my jaw, I find gum to be a very cruel thing. It plays tricks on your body. You chew and chew and your saliva starts flowing, and your gastric juices start pumping, and your stomach thinks it is going to be getting some food - but alas you just chew and chew and never swallow (or at least you are not supposed to) poor stomach gets ready to accept food that does not come, so now you are feeling very hungry. So chewing gum makes you over weight because you get hungry from it? maybe I should start chewing it so I have an excuse for my weight! just kidding. I think it is a desiring of the means (chewing) without the ends (digesting)

It's a good thing you swallow it. Not good for you, but it's better than leaving it all over the place.

It's true, the lack of common sense these days is incredible. You find gum all over the place... Not to mention that on the package it's always a drawing of what you must do with the gum...Dorks!

well i'm guilty of chewing gum but i've never stuck it anywhere in my life and i really hate it when people do that, it's just disgusting and so insensitive, i too have come across a gum or two underneath a table at a restaurant, and to think i'm trying to eat here. But i don't see why this has anything to do with gum, because that's not gum's fault, it's the chewer's fault, to blame gum and all gum users would be to blame video games for criminal behavior, which is absurd. I love to chew gum but i never disposed of it in any way like that, infact a while back i just used to swallow it cuz i was too lazy to put it in the trash but not too keen on sticking it on furniture or throwing it on the floor or ground. i hate littering too. But then i realized it takes 7 years for gum to pass through your system and i've been having stomach problems lately, and i think that might be related. But ofcourse i still like gum so now i carry a tissue with me and when i'm tired of chewing i just put it in the tissue to dispose of it later. By the way, chewing gum is a good jaw exercise.

You are wright, it's not the gum's fault...Nevertheless, no gum - no more of the problem. As for the jaw exercise...I use my jaws everyday for eating, the purpose for which they're made, and I can't see what should I exercise them for...

i used to chew gum all the time in school, but would always make sure that when i was done with it, i put it in the garbage. . . i think it's really gross when you find it under a desk or on a seat or somewhere else. i haven't chewed gums in years though because it hurts my jaws
