Whether It's Bubble or Not, I Like Gum a Lot!
Chewing Gum, whether it's "regular" gum, sugarless gum, or bubble gum, is a simple thing that can bring such pleasure! Bazooka Bubble gum was a favorite when I was a kid, and every now and then it still is. I'm never without a pack of gum.
We'll take a fun look at gum, some of it's history, fun facts about gum, provide a poll or two to find out what kind of gum you prefer, and discuss whether chewing gum is healthy for you or not; and as much chewing gum information as we can pull together here. We'll see if we can find any unique gum for you to chew.
So stick with me here as we take a look at simple sticky treats like bubble gum, chewing gum, gum ball machines, nostalgic gum and more.

Original Bazooka Bubble Gum
Buy It By the Tub Full!
This is my favorite bubble gum, and one that's been around for a long, long time. Each piece of pink gum is wrapped in the traditional printed waxed paper outer paper, plus another of the same size inside with a comic strip on it...at least that's how it used to be. Each piece is scored down the middle so you can break it in half, but who wants to do that when you can blow such BIG bubbles with the original size?

Is Chewing Gum Healthy?
Some Say Yes, Some Say No
Whether gum is healthy for you or not is controversial, some say it's good for your teeth, others say it keeps your digestive system working overtime, what do you say?
Do you chew gum OR avoid gum for health reasons?
I avoid chewing gum and here's why:
iowagirl says:
No I do not chew gum. And I do not like seeing gum on the ground... and especially on my shoe.... Should write an article on the proper way to dispose of your gum...
blanckj says:
My loving daughter broke one of my teeth before Christmas and I am still waiting for my cap and crown to get done. I have a partial right now and everything sticks to it, including the sugar-free gum. Next month supposedly! Then I'm breaking out the bubble gum.
miaponzo says:
I don't chew gum much because I don't like it.. but not really for health reasons...when I chew gum I get nauseated. :)
sandyspider says:
I stopped chewing gum years ago. Part of it might be that my husband can't stand gum chewers. My daughter chews gum, but she is careful when around my husband.
Pukeko says:
I can't remember the last time I had a stick of gum. It's been so long since I stopped chewing gum, I can't remember why.
I chew gum, and here's why:
