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.

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.

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
