Stride gum lasts a lot longer. Try the sweet pepermint one.
Stride is the gum that lasts the longest. Haven't you seen the commercials? They say, "Stride. The ridiculously long lasting gum." Scientists did a test on it a few weeks ago. It lastest 2 hrs.

Winterfresh lasts forever.
Why do people get addicted to gum?
I've been addicted to gum for about 2 years and it started just normally chewing gum when available. Then I began chewing it 24/7 and when I didn't have it my teeth would bother me and I'd eat cuz my mouth needed to move. It's very uncomfortable if I don't have gum to chew on really hard (usually 2 pieces at once for thickness) and I think a lot of it is stress but yea. Better gum than cigarettes in my opinion...
If you chew gum you will actually lose a few calories around your face and jaw. This is only for sugarless gum. However, the effect will be so small it would hardly be noticeable.
But! This doesn't mean you should chew gum 24/7. You wouldn't actually loose anything.
1 - 2 pieces a few days a week is fine.

The same as matchsticks for your eyes. You need it to keep your eyes open when you are really tired.
Chewing gum helps to shift the build up on your teeth when brushing is inconveniant. Gums with Xylitol help to prevent further nastys sticking to your teeth. And the myth about swallowing chewing gum being harmful is rubbish, it simply passes through you. But chewing too much on an empty stomach can cause stomach irritation because of the 'tricking' of your body into thinking your eating and letting the stomach acids cause havoc and gives a greater risk of developing stomach ulcers so dont go mad on it.
How do you remove chewing gum from material?
First, put some ice in a plastic bag and seal it. Place the bag on the gum and wait till it hardens. When it solidifies, crack as much off as possible. let the remaining get back to room temperature. Use WD-40 on a cloth or paper towel and rub the gum with it. It will eventually liquify the remaining gum and continue until all the gum is gone. You could also put tape on it and rip it off.
How can you tell if the mass in the gum has gone down while chewing it?
Yes. Much of the initial mass of the gum mixes with the chewer's saliva and is swallowed during the chewing process, particularly in the first couple of minutes.

Yes chewing gum will stimulate the digestive system which would in turn alter the levels in your blood and thus the test would yield inaccurate results. In other words , don't chew gum while fasting for a medical test.
How come you are not allowed to chew gum at school?
Well think of it like this, if you chew the gum noxiously it disturbs classroom students. Also the Teachers are not trustworthy of you throwing it away they think you will discard it on other school property, we just gotta deal with that, and in my opinion the gum does not keep you focused it just keeps you satisfied when your mouth is dry and has no flavor until lunch time or until you get home and eat a snack.
Kids should be allowed to chew gum in school! First of all we wouldn't have to stick it to the desk, if we were allowed to chew it in school ,because then we could throw it away without getting in trouble. It's not fair that teachers can chew gum, and we can't!
This is something I cant find the reason why it should be forbidden here is the main reason. Chewing gum (especially mint flavor) raises the brain activity.
And there are more reasons why it shouldn't be forbidden. It is not something that disturbs your class, kids chewing gum does not mean that they are gonna stick it under their desk and many more.
Children are known for sticking there gum under desks and other places instead of the trash can.
Because it can be disruptive and people don't do it responsibly-they leave it everywhere.
