Last week, trying to quit smoking and it helps.
When I learned it was filled with micro plastic so at least over a year ago
If I could cast a spell to rid the world of chewing gum, I'd do it twice.
Now that you mention it, I've never wanted anything more in my life 🤤
About two or three months ago when I was teaching my son how to blow blubbles 🙂
I chew gum when I work out. So last Friday.
note even sure. most gum I have had in the last few decades have been sugarless and used as a bit of an emergency teeth cleaner / breath freshner.
Yesterday. Kiddo got some gum and offered it to me. Can't say no to that.
When it still had real sugar in it.
Friday
phew. Probably ten or twenty years ago. I'm chewing on sugar cane right now though, does that count ?
Oh man, probably not since the 90s.
I found out some friends of mine who moved here from abroad had never had Dubble Bubble, so I bought some and we all had a piece when they came over for Christmas.
Mid to late 90s. I was never big into chewing gum, and took a stick out of politeness when someone offered.
Never managed to blow bubbles with it so gave up as a child
