Red face I have the grossest addiction

a gum addiction.


I think I chew almost an entire pack of Orbit Bubblemint Gum a day, easy.

There are probably some crazy bad outcomes for it, but I seriously can't stop chewing. I'm a chain chewerrrrr!

I just wanted to just share that as I noticed I am opening a new pack.
Blagghhh

Haha. I just finished my intro to Psych exam about Freud's theory of oral fixations. Personally I think Freud is a nutjob.

Anyway - I'm a chewer too! And the Sangria flavored one is sooooo yummy.

Do you chew the pieces for a long time or do you spit them out quickly? My boyfriend goes through all of my gum within a day. He chews it for like a minute and a half, gets tired of it and throws it away. Then an hour later he wants another piece. It drives me crazy!!

Now we carry gum for me and mints for him, Lol.

Being an ex-smoker of 11 years on August 9th I am not ashamed to say I chew about 24 pieces of Eclipse sugar free gum, all flavors, each day.

Haha, this is great! I thought I was the only one out there! I usually chew on one until the flavour is gone, but if I'm stressed or trying not to eat food I'll chew on one for a few minutes, get bored, spit it out and get a new piece.. same or new flavour.

Good job on giving up smoking ladies =]

Borntofly -- I chewed ice cubes both times I was pregnant, drove my husband crazy -- I couldn't do it now if I wanted to, drives me crazy!!

I am a horrible gum chewer -- my problem is I don't pay attention and swallow it too!!

Me too! Mine is the peppermint packs of 5 gum. We buy it by the case at costco! It helps me not eat too much junk at work, plus i'm also a former smoker.

Default Looks like i have a lot of chewing to catch up on

This is a great thread.

I was certainly expecting something gross when you said you had the grossest addiction. I go thru spells of chewing lots and others of chewing not so much. I've noticed a real increase in variety of very low calorie gums, but not necessarily some of the ones i've seen posted here tonite. I am going to need to go on a fact finding mission, maybe buy several different flavors for testing purposes.

I'm a member of Costco too and have seen the gum for purchase in bulk quanities. Maybe it's time to stock up again because i think i feel a spell of increased chewing coming on.

Thanks for the recommendations

never been fond of gum, but I don't think thats a bad addiction! Cheaper and healthier then most, as long as you don't swallow!

Ahhh I want to try Orbitz... but I don't think we have it here in Calgary. I've never seen it anyway.

I chew Stride gum - it NEVER loses its flavor!!! It'll lose most of it within about 4 hours... but it's still there! I'll need it for my plane ride.

I'll have to check for Orbitz in Vancouver today... or Maui tomorrow
