I still see people chew gum here & there. A lot of places of employment won't allow gum chewing.I was watching some old shows of Dick Clark's American Bandstand. When the camera scanned the audience every kid seemed to have a wad of gum in their mouth.
I remember chewing a lot of gum when I was a kid. I haven't chewed in years and haven't seen people chewing lately.
Remember the song,"Does Your Chewing Gum lose its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?" A big hit in the late 50's.
My Dad said when he was a kid they would chew the tar from the roads that got soft from the summer heat. I never tried it.
My uncle would tell me never to chew gum it was made from horses hooves.
My favorite was Juicy Fruit and of course Bubble Gum. My Dad liked Black Jack and my Mom would chew Wrigley's Spearmint.
Did you chew gum? What was your favorite?
have fun blowing bubbles
Oh my, Dentyne, was my favourite gum when I was in my teens! Dentyne Cinnamon all the way!I liked the gums mentioned, and I liked dentyne. Gave up gums decades ago, and am still looking for a group Mentos Anonymous, as I find this habit real hard to quit.
Inferno?Double Bubble was my favorite I never liked Bazooka. Don't recall the name of the hot cinnamon gum but I liked that as well. I still chew Dentyne Ice everyday.
I'll try that when we will be going on a plane sometime....Yes, my ears go nuts....I chew gum only when I ride a plane to avoid pain in my ears due to pressure build up.
My great-aunt used to tell me this poem whenever she'd see me chewing gum (which she didn't approve of):
The gum-chewing girl and the cud-chewing cow,
they're alike, but different somehow.
Ah, yes, I see it now.
It's the thoughtful look on the face of the cow!
I chew gum for the same reason but not just for planes. I’ve got a manmade eardrum and need to sometimes chew gum to for the same reasons.I chew gum only when I ride a plane to avoid pain in my ears due to pressure build up.
Can you now walk and chew gum at the same time??When I got older
