Food, Drink & Dining Out Chewing gum

[Gough]

Op's a fool. Mon!

The master blaster has lit a flame that is sure to ignite a fire.
Yesterday in an interview published in the Times of London, former West Indies captain Sir Viv Richards spoke of the benefits of marijuana and how it became his 'cup of tea'.
Part of the interview was extracted from the book Sir Vivian by Viv Richards, to be published by Michael Joseph on June 30.
Copies can be ordered from the Times Bookshop at http://www.times-eshop.co.uk/target=new>online.
Sir Viv, who led the West Indies for seven years without losing a Test series, said he had his first 'taste' of herb in Jamaica after explaining to some friends about problems with his eyes.
He said he discovered what was said to be a natural remedy without the need for surgery.
'They told me that there was a herbalist on the island who had various solutions for a variety of ailments, including mine,' Sir Viv was quoted as saying.
'The regular treatment for my problem, according to the herbalist, was a drink called bush tea or green tea; to put it simply and bluntly, it was a hot-water infusion of the fresh green leaves of the marijuana plant. Whenever I drank the tea, I felt sure it was going to do wonders.'

Maybe this is why he looked so relaxed too.

Let's all sit down and enjoy a chew.

Sick of seeing it in urinals.

Why would anyone ever be concerned about the appearance of urinals or be annoyed at the presence of a piece of gum?

 

[raskolnikov]

Dear friends we surely all agree
There's nothing else worse to see.
Than some repulsive little bum.
Who is always chewing chewing gum.
It's very nearly bad as those
who sit around and pick their nose.

Etc etc.

Had an old bloke tell me once that chewing gum was bad for you. His theory is that while chewing gum, the stomach would think that you are eating so would do the things to digest the food but.......No food. Please dont quote me on that I have no idea if its true.

It's true.

For all the kids out there.....whenever an old bloke tells you something, take heed, it's invariably true.

 

[exe ex machina]

In the same train of thought....

That's also why masturbation is bad.

 

[exe ex machina]

Also why day-dreaming is bad.

They need to invent a box of mints that don't rattle around in the case.

Would be an ingenious invention. You guys can take it, just make it happen!

I have heard similar to that, along the lines of if you chew gum the body will think you are eating so you don't feel as hungry. Suppose that might help if you are trying to cut back on food

Yeah I've heard that. You stomach produces the acids it uses to break down foods, and when no food arrives, the excess acid is bad for your stomach.

Sounds like a myth that needs to be confirmed or busted.

 

[SugarShane]

Have never really got the appeal. Tastes like shit after a minute or two and makes you look like a dickhead when you're chewing it. Then most people spit it out. If i ever do chew it though i always swallow it, no point chewing something for 10 minutes and not eating it.

I wouldn't miss it anyway.

1. It was bubble gum, was fresh, and stank worse than the urinal. Buggle gum flave makes my guts churn at the best of times.

2. Its lazy.

3. Saw a cleaner once having to remove them from the urinal with his latex gloves on. Poor cleaner.

 

[twerk4reep]

gum is cool

 

[Borry]

Chew it a fair bit after meals but hate those who spit it out like litter. Was working in a warehouse where a carton of tinned peaches had some gum stuck to it. Fancy a supermarket receiving that.

I'll try them. I had them long time ago as a kid, wayyy too much for me then so I've pretty much casted it out of mind. Hopefully it's not like Mentos, that shit can be eaten way too quickly.

 

[dales.girl38]

I never eat rolls of mints/lollies like that fast enough, and they end up rolling loose through my handbag and subsequently thrown out. Can't win

Melted mints/lollies in a handbag, or shoulder bag, or pockets is the worst.

I was told the same thing by an anatomy and physiology lecturer, but it's apparently only bad if you have an empty stomach. There could be some truth to it.

Cool mints, life savers and mentos all do the same thing.

Apologies Kool mints. The K makes it Kooler
