5 Donts on Chewing Gum

Probably some of the most annoying things people do; they do is while chewing gum. It is one of those things that actually requires some sort of formal education i.e.

Dave: "Hi Mike, are you chewing gum?"
Mike: "Well yes I am."
Dave: "Are you certified?"
Mike: "Yeah, I just graduated yesterday."
Dave: "Ah cool, welcome to being an educated, certified gum chewer."

Never have I felt so strongly to having a formal education course than now and that too for chewing gum. Since there aren't any of these education courses around I have decided to do something about educating gum chewers. Here are my 5 dont's on chewing gum.

1) Don't chew gum as a fashion statement: Chewing gum was cool back in the days like the late 70's and throughout the 80's. It was fashion. It was what guys with the Grease look would chew on while chatting up chicks. Not anymore amigo. If you think chewing gum is cool as a fashion find a time machine and get out of this decade. Chewing gum now is primarily done to either freshen your breath after a meal, smoke, drink or maybe sometime as a stress killer.

2) It’s better to buy gum pellets than gum strips: This has a simple reasoning behind it. Gum strips, after they have been chewed are fatter and larger than gum pellets. This increases the tendency to chew with your mouth open.

3) Don't chew with your mouth open: is what your mama would have told you a million times while growing up. Similar applies to chewing gum. No one wants to hear the sound of fish splashing around in your mouth.

4) Don't try blowing bubbles for your gum this will make you look spastic and in all cases is again not classy. It you think it’s cool, then you know what you should be lookin for.

5) Don’t dispose of your gum by spitting it on the ground or sticking it under a table. That will end up being inconvenient for someone else. The best way to dispose of gum is to either

1. spit it out into the gum wrapper
2. spit it into a tissue papper
3. if the above options are not available find a trash can, spit the gum in your palm and then throw your gum in the trash. Don't spit directly into the trash can. This is just not civilized.

So there you have it my 5 donts on chewing gum.
