You do you, but that is too much gum. You must have jaws like a bear trap.

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?
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No stomach problems so far. I only chew bubble gum, though. Regular chewing gum is a different story. Stomach aches and all that.

Well, that is certainly one way to mainline microplastics directly into your system I guess.
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, at this point I’m basically 10% human and 90% bubble gum. But seriously - yeah, probably.
someguy3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So uh, why?
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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 reporting in!
My gum addiction isn’t quite that bad, 6-12 pieces a day. My teeth are shit, so I chew gum to get between things unstuck. My number of pieces per day used to be much higher until found the right gum that tends to last a ridiculously long time without getting hard (even if the flavor is mostly gone).
Chewing gum is also very handy for weed munchies.

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.

Store brand mentos gum (the little obloids) lasts the longest for me. The store brand has tons of mint and mint adjacent flavors which are perfect together in any combination. Weirdly they price the smaller tubs better than the larger ones on a per kg/€. I am sure I look crazy rattling a dozen little tubs of gum at the self-checkout.

He came to kick ass and chew gum. And he’s all out of ass.

You must be able to give oral for an eon without getting a tired jaw.
What’s your favorite gum that you’ve tried?
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
😂 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 is probably my favorite.

A classic, respect.

How’s your teeth with all that sugar?
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Surprisingly fine. I actually have a way of dealing with the sugar in gum.
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That sounds expensive. Have you considered taking up smoking to save money? /s
MatiGumster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah and no, it’s not that simple… It used to be cheaper, and back in school there were also other sources - friends. ;-)
I don’t chew quite that much anymore. These days, a ~ kilogram of gum (around 160 pieces?) costs me about €20, so I can still afford it. And honestly, smoking would probably cost about the same anyway.
