Team Gum reporting in!

My gum addiction isn't quite that bad, 6-12 pieces a day. My teeth are shit, so I chew gum to get between things unstuck. My number of pieces per day used to be much higher until found the right gum that tends to last a ridiculously long time without getting hard (even if the flavor is mostly gone).

Chewing gum is also very handy for weed munchies.

    Team Gum! When I read "I am sure I look crazy rattling a dozen little tubs of gum at the self-checkout", I died - I'm not alone ! I'm pretty much the same: not 40 or 60 pieces a day like in my second year of university, but still around 20 a day. And yes, good gum is surprisingly hard to find. The flavor lasts "5 minutes" then it goes rock-hard five minutes later.

    What kind you use? I've settled on ice breakers cubes for now because they last longer than other stuff but I'm open to new gum experiences.

    Store brand mentos gum (the little obloids) lasts the longest for me. The store brand has tons of mint and mint adjacent flavors which are perfect together in any combination. Weirdly they price the smaller tubs better than the larger ones on a per kg/€. I am sure I look crazy rattling a dozen little tubs of gum at the self-checkout.
