How Long Do You Chew Your Gum For?

Ask a Question

How long do you chew your gum for before you have to chuck it away? For me, though it depends on the brand (some lose flavour quickly), I try to keep chewing for about 10 minutes before disposing of it, to get my moneys worth

I cant say i really buy chewing gum often anymore. When i was younger in school and college i would go through a packet a day. Flavour doesnt last long at all though does it.

Lol I know bubblegum was something I really enjoyed as a kid. Nowadays it’s the chewing gums to just help clean the teeth. I agree, the flavour never lasts, and it’s worse now, as you barely get a hint of flavour

Until the flavour has run out. Then I will chuck it out. It doens't last very long but as soon as the flavour is gone, I have to get rid of it.

As soon as the flavour runs out unless there is no where to put it and then my jaw starts aching and wish I never started chewing

for as long as the flavour lasts, and unfortunately these days, I find the gum perhaps last a couple of minutes at most, which is not like how it used to be

When I was a teen, I was once chewing on some gum (for an hour or so) and it eventually disintegrated and started to taste really bad. I was in a class too so couldn't really get rid of it! No idea what kind of gum it was now (possibly bubble gum), but it was a horrible experience.

Very rarely chew it these days, but if I do, when the flavour starts to go.

I tend to just buy polos or mints now as chewing gum only lasts a minute and then the flavour is gone 🤣

I very rarely chew gum now (is it just me or is it not as popular as it used to be 🤔) but I would chew it until the flavour was gone... although, I remember many times i was caught somewhere with no bin, gum in my mouth that ran out of flavour and I just had to keep chewing it because I’m not spitting it out on the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’d end up chewing the same piece of skanky flavourless gum for hours 😂

Lol yes that occasionally happens, and it gets very tough so you give your jaws a proper workout! I think they are definitely less popular, as I guess gum varieties are boring. Vaping seems to be the thing these days
