The comment by ‘jeff A’ is fair! Although I am still a bit grossed out by the ‘that’. (I’m 12!) I had heard of ‘thating’ before and I guess its a grown-up thing I will totally ge when i’m older! Ewwww!

Oh, I have such a problem with letting people take a bite or sip of my food/drink. Maybe germ-a-phobic? I just don’t like other people’s saliva on my food, it grosses me out. My hubby can’t understand it & becomes offended sometimes; he thinks I’m weird. Maybe I am? It’s not that I won’t share my food, (I’ll break/cut off a piece for you) and I’ll share my drink (if you have your own cup). And gum? Yuck, I think not. No ABC(Already Beem Chewed) gum for me thank-you

Haha…that brought back a funny memory–my former roommate was SO disgusted when my then-boyfriend and I shared one of those red and white dessert mints. I don’t see why it’s such a big deal…it isn’t any worse than kissing the person!

ugh. mostly because the gum’s probably out of flavor by the time the second person gets it…

But would you let me do my favorite thing in the world, which is my poporn at the movies technique. This delicate maneuver is pulled off by, while walking into the movie theater carrying the large over-flowing bucket (or sack) of popcorn, sticking your tongue out of your mouth and into the popcorn. Then pulling the popcorn that is now stuck to your tongue into your mouth and chewing while smiling happily.

I love to do that.

I guess after swapping all manner of body fluid, swapping gum ain’t so bad.
But still: yuuuuck.

There needs to be more public safety announcements about the potential spread of Hepatitis!

Ok, I believe there is a difference between mint swapping and gum swapping! I feel that the mint would only have a very thin sheet of saliva covering it, which, for some reason I am ok with. However, with gum, I imagine oodles of trapped saliva in there just squishing around while I chew. Now that is disgusting.

Isn’t that a teen relationship thing?

Wouldn’t do it now, but sure did it when I was younger. I guess I thought trading saliva was hot.

Wait a minute…
