I always have trouble picking out which kind of gum I want. It's hard to keep track of which mint tastes like what. Today I chose cinnamon and it was a good choice.

Tell me about your gum preferences, BYOB

cinnamon is a really good flavor, op. you can�t go wrong with spearmint/peppermint either. whenever I want to sweeten things up I like orange/mango/peach fruit variants

It doesn't really taste like cinnamon but it's pretty good

I bought a plant once, an American Wintergreen, and it has these little red berries that taste exactly like wintergreen gum. I always thought they just invented that flavor, like Juicy Fruit, but it's a real thing from nature

This made me think about why gum is always mint or fruit flavored. My absurd thought process made me think about meat flavored gum. Like a big old chaw of beef that you just keep chewing on.

There's no way that could be real right? 10 seconds of internet search, and yeah, apparently it's real.

I bought the plant in Holland, because it was called "Bergthee" (literally "mountain tea") and I was like, oh look a giant potted plant I could make tea out of that costs €5, that's like the same as the cost of a fancy box of tea.

I looked it up when I got home, and it comes from north America and came to Holland via New Amsterdam. The tea also contains a chemical in the aspirin family and has NSAID properties, and was used as a pain killer by wounded soldiers during the revolutionary War, a trick which they learned from the Native Americans

Bubble gum

What happens when you chew it is theres an econonic catastrophe due to over investment in the stock market

Or maybe it forces a loan payoff before its amortization is complete

Or maybe it just tastes like soap
