Gum

Bubble, chewing, ABC

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Gum

Post by KODY 105 »

Gum
Bubble gum, chewing gum, or the dreaded street item, already-been-chewed!
Part 7 of a series on foods by KODY 105 Enterprises, Inc.

Discuss your favorite chewable item here! You now have to answer several itemized questions before you can post general content regarding the genre of food. (I coined the phrase genre of food myself!)

1. Which do you prefer: a stick of flavorful chewing gum, or a big, fat wad of bubble gum, or what else?
2. What is your favorite flavor?
3. How often do you chew gum?
4. What is the biggest bubble you ever successfully blown? (Four bucks to every person who posts a legitimate picture of himself with a bubble of gum coming out of his mouth!)
5. Have you ever swallowed any of that gum?
6. How many times have you stepped in gum?
7. It is time for the truth: have you ever spit your gum onto the sidewalk? :shame:

After responding to the questionnaire, you may commence with your usual spate of gum discussion!

To aid in this discussion, I provide for you several images of gum to stimulate your saliva glands!

You know what's the most annoying thing? Getting gum on your cleats. One- who is stupid enough to spit their gum out on a soccer field? Two, don't do it where people like me have tiny little grooves on the bottom of their cleats and have to use a toothpick to clean it out. :noway:

I like mint gum. \:D/

I kind of like guar gum.

What's funny is where it says to post a picture of yourself with a bubble of gum coming from your mouth and you'll get four bucks, I misread it and thought it said "Post a picture of yourself inside a bubble of gum coming out of your mouth." I was going to say, "I don't think that's scientifically possible!"

I really want to plant a gum tree someday.

Answers in bold. ;)
1. Which do you prefer: a stick of flavorful chewing gum, or a big, fat wad of bubble gum, or what else? A stick of flavorful gum... lots of bubble gum hardly even tastes good.
2. What is your favorite flavor? Either this or this. :yum:
3. How often do you chew gum? Not too often. Probably every few weeks or so.
4. What is the biggest bubble you ever successfully blown? I don't know that I've ever blown one... and if I have (I think I remember doing so a few years back), it would've been quite small.
(Four bucks to every person who posts a legitimate picture of himself with a bubble of gum coming out of his mouth!) Someone give K1 $4 for her picture of herself! \:D/
5. Have you ever swallowed any of that gum? No clue... but I've swallowed lots of gum. How else could I have become so physically mature? ;)
6. How many times have you stepped in gum? 436.5 times!! :roll: I have no clue. :-k
7. It is time for the truth: have you ever spit your gum onto the sidewalk? :shame: I really don't think I have... but I can recolect putting gum under stuff to get ride of it. ;)

You all broke the rules. :noway:

I don't chew gum any more. I quit chewing it because it made me not be able to breathe because of the chemicals in it.

I prefer a little piece of gum that you pop out of the tin foil in the packaging, that's in a little rectangle.
My favorite flavour was spearmint.
I used to chew gum every day almost, now I never chew it.
The biggest bubble I have ever blown was probably 7cm across.
I swallowed gum at classical concerts a lot because it was easier than having to make noise to throw it out.
I don't know how much I've stepped in gum.
No, I never spit gum on the sidewalk.

1. Which do you prefer: a stick of flavorful chewing gum, or a big, fat wad of bubble gum, or what else? I usually like whatever's available :). It really doesn't matter to me. Now, if all of that was readily available for free at the tips of my fingers... I'd probably go for the big fat wad of bubble gum.
2. What is your favorite flavor? The usual 'Bubble Yum' flavor and cinnamon.
3. How often do you chew gum? Daily.
4. What is the biggest bubble you ever successfully blown? Sadly, I don't have a photo of it, but I've blown bubbles much larger than the one shown- bubbles that could have easily enveloped my whole head and then some.. with three pieces of Bubble Yum ;).
5. Have you ever swallowed any of that gum? When I was little I did like.. three times.
6. How many times have you stepped in gum? Bleck... once or twice, I think.
7. It is time for the truth: have you ever spit your gum onto the sidewalk? Absolutely never.

1. Which do you prefer: a stick of flavorful chewing gum, or a big, fat wad of bubble gum, or what else? A nice sized stick of chewing gum. I hate big wads of bubble gum. Well, unless I'm participating in a bubble-blowing competition...
2. What is your favorite flavor? Trident Splash's Orange Twist gum...or whatever it's called.
3. How often do you chew gum? Quite frequently
4. What is the biggest bubble you ever successfully blown? Pretty big. No pictures.
5. Have you ever swallowed any of that gum? I've swallowed gum lots of times, but it was usually a small piece.
6. How many times have you stepped in gum? Not too many times; that being because I happen to be very particular about where I step. You know, keeping up the quality of my shoes, and all that.
7. It is time for the truth: have you ever spit your gum onto the sidewalk? Never.

I should get a stick of gum now...

I only eat chips, hot dogs, muffins, grapes, Italian pie, and Mexican food, so I don't have any input for this topic.

I used to chew gum when I was a kid. Can't anymore because I have TMJ.

I used to not like gum, but now I totally do. I like pretty much any flavor, and though I don't know how to blow a bubble, I want to learn!

Till the end of the line.
