This seems like a case of “I don’t see it, so others don’t either”
Been thinking on this lately and I get OP. People used to chew gun in the 80’s and 90’s, a lot. Now it would be weird to see someone doing so.
It was weird to see people chew guns then too its an accident waiting to happen.
I think most people who chew gun know what they’re aiming for. But yeah, it can go wrong.
It takes skill

Do you want to see me chewing gum? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I can never see that face the same again ever since I was in a 9 month relationship with a girl whose snapchat name was the lenny face and eventually I forgot her name, was too embarrassed to ask her to remind me (because it had been like four months), so I spent the next ~5 months of my life with a psychoromantic connection to that fucking emoticon.

That’s hilarious. What a time to be alive
The one saving grace of Facebook, everyone using their real names so you can find them.
But in the end, not worth it - the younger generations have made the wise sacrifice by not using it and just guessing everyone’s names lol
Are you a living episode of Seinfeld? This sounds like a scenario George Costanza would get himself into.
My whole life I thought I was Costanza… turns out… I’m Kramer.
Nightcall by Kavinsky (Bineural Remix) plays
Mulva
Did you ever figure out her name? I hope it was Linda.
Caitlin, actually
I was hoping for Dolores
Fellow Disco Elysium enjoyer?
Yes, but this was also the name of Seinfeld’s girl.
Oh god it was! I just remember her as Mulva!
Don’t see ads for it anymore either. I kinda miss the old “how it feels to chew 5 gum” ones
I smoked one of my buddies out on DMT and when he came back to reality I said “that’s how it feels to chew 5 gum” and it was pretty funny.
I hope i’ll never get as far as missing a commercial
Right?
The (very old) Jucyfruit jingle will always and forever be burned into my memory.
Juicy fruit is gonna move ya
Its really interesting how wirgleys fucked up the marketing on that one even though they had something great out of the gate
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum.
Not only is the plastic gross, but the artificial sweeteners are nasty.
Some of us don’t taste sweetness, we taste the chemical.
Gum stopped being fun.Sweet gum is gross, minty gum is nice though
Actually I think you stopped being fun
You’re only saying that because you’re mad I won’t do that kinky stuff with you.
Doesn’t help anything that most “gum base” has PLASTIC in it.
Yea I loved gum right up until the recent study clearly linking microplastics in the body and chewing gum.
Really? I am not entirely surprised but did the study say how the plastic was getting in there?
Turns out the flavor crystals were just ground up spoons
I’m just gonna go ahead and believe this without further research, that’s too good an explanation to let go of, lol
Paging NileRed, can we make gum flavor from plastic spoons?
Yeah the microplastics in gum thing really threw me off when I found out about it.
Well your bowl of ice cream has carbon in it. Does it matter? No
You’d probably mind if your ice cream had lead in it. Microplastics will be the lead poisoning of the new century. They’re carcinogens and endocrine disruptors and we don’t even know the full extent of the effects they have.
A good chunk of the atoms in our bodies are carbon, yet we don’t see plastic being naturally created on our bodies, now do we?
FYI, not all polymers are plastics. All plastics are polymers, but it’s not a double equivalence.
I chew gum every day.
So do I, for the Xylitol to keep my teeth healthy.
Hard to find decent gum now as many switched to Sorbitol as it’s cheaper but not as good for teeth.
Personally, I really like the gum from Pür.
same
I feel like the consumption of gum has shifted from just chewing it to being a more glorified mint/on the go way to brush your teeth.
I chew gum
I can’t see you. The theory checks out.
I chew gum, too, I just do it in private where no one can see, like any other decent human being.
Not me, I’m a fucking degenerate.
Don’t sell yourself short, you sound like a fartist
Well, it’s in their mouth, duh.
Well I guess when there’s a species of giant people eating gum-chewers we really should have expected a decline in its popularity
On today’s episode of: Is This Somebody’s Fetish or Just an Anime I Haven’t Watched Yet
Or both
Wait - if the ones who chew gum are also the ones who eat people, shouldn’t we see MORE gum chewers, since they’d be a proportionally larger part of the population the more they eat?
No you have it all wrong, there are people who eat people who chew gum
Exactly. [The] people-who-eat-people chew gum.
I think you have a couple typos though, autocorrect can be really frustrating, right?
So, actually what’s happened is people have stopped blowing bubbles.
I got offered some gum on the a plane ride the other day and it really made me to stop and think how I went from doing that every time to not doing it for years.
They’re probably vaping instead.
I smoked for about 10 years and replaced that with vaping. Then I replaced vaping with chewing gum in January.
I chew 2 pieces of Extra 6-7 times a day and Blockheads multivitamin gum twice a day.
I also carry strips of foil I can spit into if I’m at my desk or not near a bin.
I bet you could crack open a jawbreaker with one bite with those jaw muscles.
That’s interesting though, have you noticed any changes from that amount of gum?
No, but it’s only been a couple of months.
Plus I’m single right now, if you catch my drift.
I went to school with a girl who chewed gum everyday, she ended up in hospital with a stomach ulcer.
When you chew, your brain sends signals to your stomach to produce acid to break down the food that is incoming, but if you don’t actually consume food, the acid will just continually build until there’s a problem.
Basically just saying be careful, though I’m not sure if there is any warning signs you can watch for.
Nice
Why is all made with fake sugar now. That shit hurts my stomach
Sugar alcohol isn’t digested by bacteria on your teeth, preventing cavity growth from it, but it’s a laxative
Damn that’s why they do this?? TiL thanks buddy
You can still buy the stuff with sugar. Just buy the ones for kids.
It’s me. I’m singlehandedly keeping the gum industry alive.
