I am addicted to Trident Spearmint gum.

Spearmint in general is my favorite gum flavor. Chewing some right now in fact.

I don't like those "fusion" flavors (tropical mint and crap like that)

Been awhile since we've had a chewing gum thread.

DISCUSS!

I vehemently hate gum. And I want to punch people who make gross smacking noises when they chew it.

Smacking, cracking, popping - or any other gum-related noise makes me completely insane.

I chew gum occasionally (usually after meals if I don't have access to a toothbrush). But it is a completely silent process.

Well then, I guess I'll leave my Trident out of sight on Wednesday!

But if it makes any difference, I don't "smack" my gum.

I don't mind other people's enjoyment of gum, just as long as it's quiet. (Still, just to be on the safe side, I won't mind if you leave your gum at home on Wednesday. Looking forward to meeting you, by the way.)

Most of the reason I don't like gum is that it loses its flavor within two seconds, and then you're just left with this sticky blob in your mouth.

Most of the reason I don't like Imago is that he loses his flavor within two seconds, and then you're just left with this sticky blob in your mouth.

I think we all have that issue with imago

Yeah, he needs to work on that.

I wonder if purplejedi knows what 'minty' means.

Uhm...flavored like mint???

For all you guys that like popping your gum...take a listen to what the first woman did to her man when he popped his gum....for the last time.

Two warning shots

As for me...I love Big Red gum. The flavour lasts forever...yum!

Lemme get that Juicy Fruit playa

or some Bubblelicious

I'm fine with all sorts of bubble gum as long as it's not banana, watermelon or cinnamon, absolutely dreadful!!

I rarely chew gum...

But when I do chew it, I prefer peppermint gum.

I CANNOT STAND THAT CRACKING, POPPING, SMACKING SOUND.

The students are warned.... If you crack your gum in my classroom, I just walk up to you with the garbage can. It is not debatable or negotiable.

So WAIT - you allow it as long as they don't crack/smack/pop it?

At my school we have a "handbook"... (in quotes)

Somewhere along the way, the rules became suggestions and not the code of conduct. Every time you try to enforce something, it becomes an infringement on SOMEone's rights. So you pick your battles....

Gum is not an issue as long as it's quiet.

I'm tellin' ya: high school is not like it was when we were kids.

I had nuns in elementary school.

Gum was up there with attempted murder.

I had a professor - university, mind you - who warned everyone on the first day that he would kick people out of lecture for chewing gum. And he wouldn't let them back in until they came to see him at office hours.

I took two courses with him - and saw him kick one person out. The student was absolutely brazen about it. He sat there chewing like a cow with its cud while the professor gave him the for about five minutes - and was completely perplexed when he finally told him to get out.

Freshen Up is my favorite. You put it in your mouth and once you've applied enough pressure, it sqirts liquid all in your mouth.

Actually I haven't seen Freshen-up in the stores lately.

When this first came out, one of my friends dubbed it "cum gum."

I like spearmint a lot more than peppermint, but I chew 5 tempest, it has just enough stretch to pop a bubble when you feel like it and the flavour lasts a lot longer than hubbabubba

That's definitely the experience I got when I first put a piece in my mouth.

My chewing gum thread went sexual.

Love the Org!!!

Gum-chewing fiend right here! Mostly after meals for digestion, when I'm driving someplace for more than 15 mins, and when I'm nervous. Generally chew no more than two sticks of gum a day.

Trident layers ~ Strawberry and citrus

5 ~ React mint

Stride ~ Winterblue, Spearmint, and Mystery flavor

Gum can be tasty, but it should be illegal. There's not a public school or restaurant in the whole Pacific Northwest that doesn't have gum stuck under the table.
