Do you chew gum?

[LindsayDunn228]

I have TMJ troubles and gum just aggravates it. I am not offended with others chewing it as long as they do it with their mouth's closed.

I chew gum to help me get through a rough day on WW.

I chew gum on occasion. I broke my jaw many, many years ago and the constant gum chewing makes my jaw sore.
I do enjoy it and don't mind if others chew as long as they don't do it with their mouths open. My DDad always said we sounded like "cows chewing their cud". Not sure how a native NYC boy knew about cows and cud??

I'm not a gum chewer. I don't mind other people chewing gum as long as they're not popping it and cracking it, that can get annoying.

I too am a gum chewer. My husband got me hooked. When he quit smoking 9+ years ago, his pack a day habit converted from cigarettes to gum. Since I am trying to lose weight I have picked up the habit as well. But I am only a casual chewer. I pack will last me all week.

Definitely a gum chewer, especially at work. Helps me not snack. I am a fan of the elusive Extra Polar Ice. They are always out of it at Walmart.

Love gum. Love to pop and crack and blow bubbles...I try not to do it in public but I can't help it sometimes.

I chew ice too!

I love any kind of cinnimon gum.

I'm a gum chewer. I quit smoking 5 weeks ago and this has helped with the cravings TREMENDOUSLY. I'm also trying to lose weight so chewing gum has been my snack of choice lately - although I don't swallow it. My favorite gum is Orbit spearmint or bubble mint. Yummy!

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.

I am chewing a piece of Big Red right now. I could never give up my gum, no matter what anyone says.

I would prefer a mint, but I'll chew gum now and then.

I have to keep gum away from my DH. He eats it like candy and swallows it! I had to put a stop to it when he swallowed 30 pieces in one day! He actually ended up having a pudge in his stomach that night.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

I chew gum. I like fruity flavored gum.

 

[Stitchfans]

sure I chew gum. not every day but once in a while. as far as Oprah goes who care what she thinks. she has gotten way to big for her own britches.

 

[belle_of_the_ball]

hi..im um erin and i chew gum like a maniac....all the time..especially in school.

it acctually helps your memory...maybe thats why i do so good in my after lunch classes!

I used to chew gum all the time years ago but stopped due to TMJ. However, recently I started chewing gum again (once in a while), Trident.

I don't chomp on the gum nor do I chew with my mouth open or snap it, I hate when people do that. And, for the record, I can not stand Oprah.

 

[malibuconlee]

I chew gum occasionally. I ALWAYS have it when I fly. I'm the annoying person sitting there chomping away because I find it helps with my ear popping. I forgot once a couple of years ago and it was pretty painful.

Otherwise, I do try not to chomp and be annoying or disgusting.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Constantly! At least I gave up smoking 20 years ago!

No! NO GUM! GUM BAD!! GUM EVIL!!

Really, though, it's not the gum, it's the WAY PEOPLE CHEW IT!! Oh, the smacking, the popping, all the nasty, disgusting noises. Makes me absolutely homicidal to hear it! Oh...I hate gum! I don't chew it, as a matter of principal.

Yes... I know... I have problems... but, please, all you gum chewers, be considerate of those around you and keep it quiet. Please, I'm begging you!
