gum is so dangerous. i will chew on a single piece for 6 hours straight, easy. and then my jaw will hurt. and at some point or another if you chew on it too long some gum starts falling apart. like the binding agents or something get broken down and it becomes a really gross shambling almost curdled mass. so i’ll spit it out. and then i’ll chew another piece. perhaps the next minute or perhaps the next day. until i chew through the whole pack of gum. then i’ll go months without having any gum. and then i’ll be like hmmmm i could really go for a pack of gum. and the cycle repeats. and my jaw hurts

#better than chewing on some random plastic or wood or resin thing #but it’s less effort to continue chewing gum than it is to spit it out #which causes problems #like chewing on a piece of gum for the better half of a day #or getting caught in a situation where you have to talk or eat or something and there’s nowhere appropriate to spit it out #so you gotta decide if you’re gonna scramble for a tissue or scrap paper or a nearby trash can #or resign yourself to swallowing it or ruining some pocket with gum #or worst of all littering or ruining furniture #gum is dangerous……#really what i should learn is just to always keep a pack of tissues on me. or at least the original gum wrapper #60% of my gum-related problems would be solved #…i don’t think i’ve bought a pack of pocket tissues in my life
