Do you chew gum?

(Not from swallowing it!) I think you take in unnecessary air, so its probably wind.

I don't see the point either. And it gives me tummy ache.

No, never and would not let DC have it when they were young. I have never seen anyone in my family chewing gum, it was considered common when I was growing up.

No I can’t stand it, it gave me indigestion. Also hate to see other people chewing especially at important occasions or serving in shops, then I think it’s just rude. One daughter has some occasionally but nobody else I know seems to bother

Yes I do, but like calendar says, time and place... While walking, driving etc. never in public.
Wwm2, not snobbish, just good manners.
My dentist recommended it - the sugar free one, containing xylitol which is antiseptic.

No I don’t chew. It makes me feel hollow somehow! As if I’m expecting food I suppose. For those who do - Isn’t it tiring?
?

Chewing gum is like many things, there’s a time and a place, preferably when you’re on your own,

Hate to see shop assistants chewing when they serve you, or people being interviewed on tv when chewing.

And Carole Middleton was shot down for being spotted chewing at Prince William’s RAF passing out ceremony or some such occasion.

Yes. DH has heart problems and the drugs he takes give him a dry mouth so he chews gum to help moisten his mouth, so I chew along with him, but insists he stops in company etc??

I’m such a snob

No, never. I hate to see anyone chewing away especially as they are talking at the same time. It's even worse to find it stuck to the pavement and then our shoes. Horrible stuff.

I don't normally chew but after recent surgery my surgeon brought me a couple of packets and told me chewing it would help stop nausea. He was right it did help.

Use it mainly when we fly to stop my ears hurting. Have got some left but don’t really think to eat it. Though perhaps it will have lost its flavour by the time we fly again.

No. I think it looks terrible, and anyway, as soon as the taste has gone (after about three chews) I hate the feel of it in my mouth.

My dentist suggested chewing sugar free gum but I was never allowed it as a child and can't bear the sight of anyone chewing so I keep a packet in the car.

Not much use at the moment though

I had a bit of a gum habit before lockdown. I’ve only had online shops since then and haven’t ordered any, so I’ve broken it. Chewing gum is good for the teeth though.

Yes, I do. It's good for the teeth, I believe ....the sugar-free gum.

I don't, but my mum and daughter were chewing gum fans.

My dad told me when I was little that if I swallowed my bubble gum it could wrap round my heart and kill me! Aaarrghh! Went right of it after that! As for chewing gum now, it just makes me hungry. My stomach thinks that food is coming.

Yes, I chew. Right from being a child I used to buy a round one wrapped in paper and the gum was pink. It was called something like Hubba Bubble. I could blow huge bubbles which burst and stuck all around my mouth.
