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.
Most people don’t realize today’s chewing gum IS plastic. You can buy chicle gum tho, which is made from tree sap, hopefully people get wind of it and it catches on. The heart disease just caused by chewing gum is insane to think about, but people have no idea.
