Chewing on Cobalt gum

The kid in this video pretty much sums it up:




I’ve never smoked cigarettes or bought exotic condoms and I seldom chew gum, but I love the box for its own sake—I can already see a collection of empty packages displayed on the top of my black bookshelf. Brilliant marketing and the gum has staying power, too. The piece I chewed the other day just wouldn’t lose its flavour—great at first but then kind of annoying because I felt like I had to keep chewing and chewing and chewing. I’ll never make it through even one pack, so if any of you chewers out there have empty packages for my collection, please send them along.
