About Chewing Gum
Known for getting stuck in hair or on the soles of shoes, chewing gum is a substance that is chewed (not swallowed or eaten) for fun or to freshen breath. Gum comes in a variety of flavors, some minty and some sweet. Some versions are primarily for blowing bubbles, which is amusing for children and adults alike.
