Gum Sux!

[JKurz1]

I can easily put down 2 packs of sugarless gum at work...sucks.....guess I have a oral fixation....anyone else?

 

[ohashi]

Yeah, I go through Trident like crazy.

 

[eurorides]

u know how gum has calories? is that if you swolow it or just if you chew it? always wondered that.

 

[Shak]

yeah - i chew orbitz gum all day. if it's on my desk, i'll chew it until it's gone.

 

[JKurz1]

how's the tummy feel afterwards??????? Damn........when I get above 10 pieces in an 8 hour day I'm hurtin..............no weight gain either, damn!

 

[eurorides]

i wouldnt look to gum as a food supplement to gain weight

 

[Shak]

i don't keep it on my desk for that reason...same thing goes for mints. i think i get addicted to those things because i'm not eating a lot of sugar.

 

[slugfast6868]

What about the gum and calories thing... basically don't you just burn all the calories in the gum so the sugar alcohols or the sugars in the gum are basically negligible if you are chewing it for 30 minutes or so?

 

[eurorides]

ya but think about it....if the gum was calorie free you would be BURNING calories o btw the "listerine pocket strips" are calorie free. hope that helps out a few of you gum nutz

i chew a ton of gum as well... I'm beginning to get tired of how orbitz sticks to the wrapper when it gets warm... they need to use foil or some type of paper that doesn't stick so easily

Glad to hear that there are other Gum addicts out there. I can down a pack of orbits in 10 mins easily. Too many and I'm shooting brown water out of my ass though.

Same here. Bubblemint Orbit is my answer to the copious amounts of Halloween candy floating around work. Plus I've developed this obsession that I must chew gum during classes. I'm also bad about having to chew two pieces at once, one just doesn't do it for me. LOL don't ask, 'cause I don't know why.

i know - it's very gross. also, orbitz has a very strong smell and when i keep it in my purse, it smells up everything that's in there.

i was just gonna post a thread about obsessive gum chewing!! i power thru 2 packs a day at work also - EXTRA Polar Ice is the only way to go. I cant go to the gym without it. At one point i was chewing 3 packs a day just at work, usually 3 to 4 pieces at a time (plenty-packs) LOL! My question is....is this a bad thing??

 

[anthrax]

1 piece of sugar free gum = between 2 an 4 calories

10 pieces a day is OK but more is not a good idea

 

[JKurz1]

Is your theory tested there buddy? Probably not....eat as much as you want.........period. Your stomach will burn when you've had too much........

 

[HANSEL]

2 pieces of Dentyne Fire per day here

 

[rettoforever]

Whoa-- and I don't chew except on a rare occasion when I want to brush and can't.

Chewing while lifting? Just don't choke on that last rep!

How do you quit chewing? Take up smoking I guess.

 

[fat tire]

I used to chew gum all the time, until i started working for a company that didn't allow it.

 

[Smurfy]

I no longer have this gum obsession. In fact I rarely ever chew gum anymore. I bought two packs yesterday for the first time in months.

I think the forum sometimes displays really old posts on the first page with all the newer ones..
