I eat packs of gum in less than ten minutes.

It's true! My mom always told me that I think of gum as food. Whenever I buy gum at the store, I dig right into it. I don't swallow it, though. That's way to much for me to "handle". But is this normal?

    I do that too. I don't buy gum very often because the package always is gone within a few days so it's a waste of my money. It's weird. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that the flavor is gone within a short period of time and it feels nice to chew on a huge wad of something.

    I have a friend who does this exact same thing! She once went through an entire pack of gum in one math class. I think that was one of her slower gum chewing times because she had to concentrate on what she was doing. Like you, she doesn't swallow it. Who knows, maybe you're Erica.

  • I'm guessing it's normal. Your eating gum like people eat mints. All the mints in a short time. I would try eating maybe 1/4 of the pack at a time though. You must spend alot on gum.

      Well I don't really spend that much, but once in a while if I feel like chewing something, my immediate thought is gum. (I feel like chewing stuff about three times a week!)
