I have been a gum adversary all my life. When people ask why I don’t chew gum, I often respond that I don’t know. But I do know. I don’t chew gum because it’s disgusting. Here is the rundown on how I feel about gum.

When someone asks me if want a piece of gum

What you look like when you chew gum

How intelligent you look when you chew gum and talk

What should happen to people who blow bubbles

When someone smacks their gum repeatedly

When someone drinks with gum in their mouth

When I see someone spit their gum out on the sidewalk

When I step in gum on the sidewalk

When I have to sit next to someone chewing gum

When I see my boyfriend put a piece of gum in his mouth

When he asks if I want him to spit it out

If the world were a gum free place

But the reality…
