I’ve seen a kid at the supermarket pop the top off of one of these bad boys and down its full contents, crunching through the mass of gum’s solid outer layer audible from half an aisle’s length away. Not a safe solution with kids around.

  I didn’t mean it like that, but the mental image sent chills down my spine. No, this sort of gum usually has a crunchy outer coating like an m&m, which I heard.
  
  Shit, I don’t think I could fit one of these things in my mouth. The sort of snake child that could do so terrifies me.
