1. The gum manufacturers are making excessive profits

Some people are having to resort to stealing to get the gum that they need.

4. Owww I do that too.
And don't you hate it when you bite it for the first time in a while - because you know that makes it much more likely that you will bite it again soon?

7. I tend to get a headache when I chew gum for too long.
There is none that I have found that has lasted very long though. :hi:

10. I'm usually done in 10 to 15 minutes tops.
That might be why gum is such a rare treat for me. Every once in a while, I will buy one of those big bags of the Double Bubble bubble gum. That is like maybe every year or so. That's about it.

5. Someone who doesn't own a toothbrush?
I just use it to clean up my mouth after eating, if I can't brush my teeth.

How very strange.

11. People who chew gum should be the first against the wall.
The revolution started yesterday, but I'm still seeing the same old gum chewing fucking cows all over town.
