What you need, my friend, is some Bubble Tape. Six whole feet of gum at your disposal, dividable into portions of whatever size your heart desires.

i agree with will, bubble tape would solve your problem. or a pack of big league chew. i’ve always been partial to chewing the whole bag of Chicklets at once.

but if you’re looking specifically for spearmint, i’m at a loss; orbitz is good but quite expensive if chewed in mass quantities — btw, have you tried their bubblemint and cinnamint? they’re great.

=o\ Yuck. I had a bad experience with Bubble Tape, therefore I avoid it at all costs. I was on vacation, I believe, as a kid…and I decided to chew a big wad of it the entire trip (I forget where we going) and not long after I made that decision (I had already been chewing awhile), it liquified in my mouth and was one of the most awful tastes I’ve ever…well, tasted.

So…unless you want liquid Bubble Tape engulfing your tongue, teeth, and inner-cheeks…I’d say avoid Bubble Tape.

The Government ruined it for us Paul. We used to be able to enjoy 20 sticks of gummy bliss. They came in the form of Cigarettes, and Johnny Law (or one of his in-laws) decided kids were having too much fun pretending to be their drunk ol’ uncle who beats his wife while puffing on a kool 100.

Maybe they still have these in Canada?

Aaah, the cigarette gum things. That was at least a decent time. These days, there’s nothing out there for me.

As for bubble tape, I’m going to have to do some research into it.

I’ll get back to you on my progress.

HELLO Dumbasses!

Trident and Orbitz and Wrigleys and tons of companys put artificial sweeteners in their gum.. These artificial sweeteners cause many symptoms…Aspartame causes 92 known symptoms and i’m sure the other artificial sweetners out there cause just as many. I’d advise you to get off those brands of gum..oh and BubbleTape. OK well I hope you guys are smart enough to get off it.

Hey Jacki!

You are obviously extremely passionate about artificial sweeteners in gum and that makes me happy. Because when it comes down to it, most dumbasses don’t stand behind their lunatic fringe opinions about aspartame and they don’t have the knowledge that you do.

So, kudos to you for that!

I’d like to throw my fringe support behind the banning of monosodium glutamate and Sodium Benzoate. I’m not sure why, but they are artificial, so, um, all you jackasses should stop using them!!!
