I keep some sugar-free mint gum in my carry-on bag to chew during take-off and landing to help with ear pressure. But otherwise I’ve largely turned to Binaca or Listerine spray for breath freshening, which for me is the major purpose of gum.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The other major purpose is the blowing of bubbles
I was never down with gum to start. Chewing something until its flavorless and then spitting it out is just a strict downgrade from snacking.

Was watching a Steve Ramsey video on YouTube today and noticed he was chewing gum through parts of it. Made me think of this post again. You definitely don't see a lot of YouTubers chewing gum!
