Chewing on Cobalt gum

gum.jpg


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.

gum container collecting

Patty, look out! Your developing affection for gum containers will take you down the same road as those Pez collectors. You're heading for geekdom! And you are sooo un-geek. Most of the time.

You must have been chewing the blue one. The pink "bubble gum" flavour one disintegrates in your mouth after a while. Very unsatisfying. Kinda like Bubble Tape.
