My roomate has recently aquired a thing for chewing gum.

I find gum to be the most repulsive thing. I can't stand the sounds of people chewing gum, or how I can smell it in my room when my roomate chews it, which seems to be nonstop right about now.

I like chewing gum and chewing it is fine by me. The worst thing about it though is that all the major brands have almost no taste and seem to be as weak as anything.

I haven't chewed gum in over 10 years, and it sickens me how 90% of people my age are conastantly chewing it like cows. :evil:

I like chewing gum, but I hate the sound of other people doing it.

Chewing gum and spit on the footpath make me want to spew up most of the time..

Chewing a tasteless bit of (almost) plastic just to spit it out again? What a waste...

I sometimes chew gum depends on if it tastes good, but most of the time gum only lasts about 5 minutes to me before the taste goes away and im stuck chewing on a tasteless wod of what feels as if im chewing on silly putty (never ate any its toxic) I find it a waste too that you put it in ur mouth cuase it tastes good then chew it it looses flavor then spit it back out. I cannot blow bubbles either they say its easy but I just cannot do it without the wod of gum being spit out.( I guess you have to have fine muscle control)

A dog found a piece of bubble gum on the street then ate it up, some time later the dog farted a bubble.

I very rarely chew gum. It tastes good, but i can't stand the idea of having to find a place to spit it out when the flavor is gone.

There is no point in chewing gum, other than to freshen your breath.

I hate chewing gum, its very unnatural to me; why chew gum when you can chew food (not only that) gum is not addictive, and it seems that gum would be like "Did you know that gum causes cancer?"

again I see no point in gum chewing

My daughter chewed pencils, pen caps, shirt collars, sleeve cuffs, even her own wrist until I broke down and violated my own "no gum in the house" rule. It made an incredible difference in her ability to focus on even the simplest task.
