I remember as a kid there was this bubble gum called Mouth Full. And that is was. If I recalled correctly it was about the size of a 3X5 card and cost 10 cents. The regular small pieces of bubble gum cost only a penny.

There’s also a gum wall in Ann Arbor. It’s gross.

A 60-piece container of Spry, a xylitol-sweetened gum found largely at health food stores, sits in the console of my car constantly. Though it may be marketed to a slightly more vintage age group, it keeps my 25-year-old gums and teeth happy, and the cinnamon flavor is delicious!

Chewing gum in Singapore is not a crime…..the sale of chewing gum is a punishable offence….

(just wanted to clarify)

Also, the times link should be fixed. If not, try this: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/28/health/28real.html?_r=1

Loripop that story is AMAZING! Hah, I mean, how often does that ever happen?

Steven – from my understanding it was just one tree, although I have little doubt that many trees in most metro areas are home to stray gum wads :/

I have a question about the gum tree. Was it just one tree? or were there many of them down the street? I remember walking down South street and seeing various trees with gum on them. Earlier this year, I realized there were no more trees. Was it just one tree?

South Street in Philly just isn’t the same without the gum tree. It was a sad, sad day when they cut it down…photos really do that tree no justice.

I think the universe has it in for me today – earlier, a piece of gum ripped out a filling I had in my teeth! And now the universe is just rubbing it in :).
