    First I have to say I am board out of my tree this morning.


    I am not a big Chewing gum person in fact its been years since I bought a pack so I am not up on the procedure.There is a complementary box were I am working today so this got my mind racing.

    Anyway my question is how long after the taste has gone do you keep it in your mouth..?I can only last for about 2/3 min once the taste is gone.

    You'd never make for a decent fluffer so.

    Sometimes minutes, the odd time hours!!! Depends if my mind is on other things or not!

    Complementary box of chewing gum? I wanna work where you work! :(

    I usually leave it in my mouth a good while after the taste has gone: if I'm absent minded or bored it stays in longer. I have to take it out though when it starts breaking apart and goes all mushy.
    If it doesn't break apart then I'll keep chewing it until I'm hungry (the longer I chew gum the hungrier I get)

    The taste never goes, your mouth just gets used to it. Thats why if you put sugar or something on the gum you get the flavor back because it refreshes your taste buds.....FACT!!!!

    Turd ferguson obviously had a very sheltered upbringing where he had to update his chewing taste every couple of days

    I'd chew chewing gum for a good 20 mins after taste has gone prob.

    Ah I remember back as a kid, the taste would go so I'd just pop another in. End up chewing on about 4/5 chewing gums in go.

    Now, serious business this... I'm currently on 10 a day. That's one whole pack. I take 'em two at a time. Two in the morning at about 9am, change for another two at 11am, take those out for lunch, another two at 2pm and change them at 4pm and then again at about 6pm. Then take 'em out again for dinner. I won't usually have any more after this.

    Some days I take more than this but this is pretty standard.

    It depends on the flavour. For instance, i'm chewing Orbit Complete Lemon & Lime at the moment and once it begins to lose it's flavour the gum tastes manky so i get rid.

    Other flavours like Peppermint or Spearmint i can keep chewing for a longer time, maybe an hour

    Oh the potential for double meanings in this thread.....:rolleyes::eek:

    I can't stand chewing gum that has lost its flavour, out with it!

    I do swallow if I can't find a bin, but am I the only one that still automatically gets just a teeny bit afraid that it'll do damage to your insides, like we were often told as kids?! I can't help it!

    As for "I take two at a time" that's just too easy...:P

    Two at a time? Yes.

    Swallow? No. But I had a boyfriend who did that. He would literally eat the pack in about 20 mins.

    Chewing gum contains a laxative. Neesa must split her day between chewing and pissing out her ass! :pac:

    I'm shocked and appalled, while also wondering if that flavour would sell due to the publics morbid curiosity...:confused::rolleyes:

    Sorry, but it's true!

    Chewing releases only a small amount. But if you swallow the effects are greater.
