Do you chew gum?

[mommaU4]

Hello, my name is Beth and I chew gum.


Apparently this is about the most vile disgusting thing a person can do, at least according to Oprah. She even admited to throwing away one of her good plates because a dinner guest had put their gum on it. Granted that's not proper manners, but to throw it away?

Anyways this thread is not really about Oprah as much as it is about chewing gum. Does anyone chew gum anymore? Or is it just too disgusting for you?

Hi. My name is Beth too and I chew gum as well. Can't get through a day without it!

Not a gum chewer. I have TMJ and chewing gum hurts way too much and makes my jaw way too sore. Not worth it. I will from time to time sneek a bit to blow some bubbles, then spit it out. But not really chew it.

chew gum? No. Chew ice? Yep, 5 lbs of ice a day.

Hi, my name is Stacey, and I chew gum! Oh god I finally admitted it. I have a 2 pack a day habit. I just wanted to slap Oprah when she called chewing gum disguisting, well, that's just her opinion, who cares? I think gum is great, it keeps your breath fresh, and it is definately a deterant to eating! I say keep chewing!

Hello my name is Heidi and I am a chewing gum addict.

I mostly chew at home, but sometimes will chew in public. I always chew with my mouth closed, I do blow bubbles but only at home.

Trident is my drug of choice, the peppermint flavored ones.

I do chew gum on ocassion. I have a friend who hates gum, can't even stand to smell it when someone else is chewing it.

As for Oprah, I never heard this, but is sounds silly to me to throw out a perfectly good plate for that reason. But I guess when you have her kind of money you can do what you want.

I chew gum sometimes and don't really care what Oprah thinks about it. I like sugar-free bubble gum and Big Red the best.

Another gum chewer. LOL!

Ice Breakers is my fav for minty gum and Juicy Fruit is my current fav when I want something sweet.

I chew the occaisional piece of gum, but it's pretty rare for me. My kids chew gum all the time.

Nothing gross about it in my books (as long as it ends up in the trash can when the time is right)!

DH thinks I have a problem because I love bubble gum. Not sure if I wasn't allowed any when I was little or what?!? I don't, however, blow bubbles in public and actually rarely chew it outside the privacy of my own home!

Hi my name is Kelli and I chew gum. I am probably the worst kind, I chew gum in public and at home. And blow bubbles I am addicted to Orbit .
It keeps my breath minty fresh and food out of my teeth.

[Pop Daddy]

I chew gum and walk, but cant do it at the same time

I chew gum! My worst habit when chewing is that when I am ready to get rid of it I want to spit it out. Don't ask me why I get the urge but I do. It isn't something I will do in public or in front of people I know. I always want to see how far I can spit it.

 

[nwdisgal]

I chew gum, but I'll be sure to stay away from Hana side when I do it, so Oprah won't be repulsed by my habit.

Me, too, I'm a gum chewer. I'm a former smoker and it makes me happy so Oprah will just have to deal with it. It's been many years since I quit smoking but I just don't feel like I need to quit the gum habit. It's not hurting anyone else.
