Yeah and no, it's not that simple... It used to be cheaper, and back in school there were also other sources - classmates . ;-)

I don't chew quite that much anymore - these days it's around 20-25 pieces a day. That's actually me cutting back. 😂 It used to be way more. Smoking would probably cost about the same anyway. 😅

I don't have jaws like a bear trap. The bear trap has jaws like me. 😂

Seriously though, my jaw is definitely stronger from all those years of chewing.

And I can definitely blow some huge bubbles. 😁

Isn’t it bad for the stomach acid?

at this point I'm basically 10% human and 90% gum 😁 But seriously - yeah, probably.

Honestly ? I have no idea. At this point, it's basically a lifestyle. But I do know that chewing a lot of gum started with a school prank...

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.

Surprisingly fine. I actually have a way of dealing with the sugar in gum.

😂 I'm not sure about that, but I've built up some serious jaw endurance - and some jaw definition too.

As for gum, Hubba Bubba (original) is my favorite.
