fun gum fact, one of my professors invented the original Trident gum...it was called trident because it had three enzymes in it to aide in digestion (todays version doesnt have them, but they kept the name) He was a grad student at the time and didnt get a patent so the professor he was working under got the credit for it!

did I just get too technical for this thread??

I enjoy Trident from time to time...love the original and the Orange one - I think it's called Tropical something or other...

Tropical Twist Trident.

Usually, I don't like fruity sweet gums.. just mint. But this Trident? It's amazing. It smells really good in my purse and desk drawer. Tastes great.

That's the one I meant!! Tropical Twist. Couldn't remember the name...but I'm with ya, I normally don't like fruity gums..but that one rocks.

I usually get tired of the fruity gums - as mentioned in my first post, I bought Orbit lemon lime gum in bulk, three packs in I'm sick to death of it...I probably should have gone with Trident

I usually have to be in the mood to chew gum, but I do enjoy it every so often. Usually I'll get in a mood and then I buy one of those bulk packs of Extra bubble gum, and have two sticks a day (sometimes more). I have that apple Extra right now, but I haven't had any in a while.

Big gum fan here. Either Eclipse Spearmint(the GREEN pack, the blue Eclipse SUCKS in comparison!!!!), or Wrigley's Winterfresh(the blue one).

The Wrigley's Winterfresh is what my sister and I refer to as "ben gay" gum. It tastes sort of like Ben Gay smells...if I'm thinking of the right gum.

another thing for which I am a whore. in fact, I have several people who liken me to Britney Spears in this aspect. I chew gum all the time. like, all the time. and I smack it too. I know, I'm sorry...I can't help it. my mom's bitched at me for ruining several home movies and pictures because of my gum. I don't like bubble gum though because I eat it...what is it about that...I can't help but swallow it. I'm more of a Winterfresh, Dentyne kinda guy.

Oh now smacking is where I draw the line

I do blow bubbles a lot...but I don't smack...nor pop my gum. My mom pops her gum and it makes me want to strike her repeatedly.

well, I don't actually like slober all over myself or anything, but I'm not exactly quiet and I don't notice it. and I hate smacking...hate it.

I keep thinking about that song from Chicago...

I told him if he popped that gum one more time...

I pop mine - annoying I know, but it keeps me entertained. I also tend to play with my gum, like winding it around my finger.

I'm not sure if I'm annoyed by the popping or the fact that it's my mother doing the popping

So you might be ok

I still don't pop my gum..

BUT when I'm home alone, I do sometimes wind it around my finger

Well as long as there's no slober
