WHAT’S WITH YOUR BUBBLE GUM?

If your mom always complains about your annoying jaws that keep on chewing, do not spit that gum out  because I got perfect alibi to share to you. You may love the goat because of this… 

There was a scientific study claiming that chewing gum can improve one’s memory by more or less 30%. (oh come on, i think you’re about to try it later huh?).  Such research study was not well proven however, based on the tests that they have completed, the theory formed was that: THE CHEWING GUM RELEASES INSULIN TO STIMULATE CERTAIN PART OF THE BRAIN THAT’S RESPONSIBLE TO MEMORY.

Does this theory imply that singaporeans are of poor memory? (oh come on!) Based on statistics, Singapore is the the country with the lowest consumption of bubble gum. This is not because of the pleasure for enjoyment of the taste, but for pleasure of health. You cannot buy a gum in Singapore unless you give your name and identification. Chewing the bubble gum was banned in 1992 as a way of reducing littering. In 2004, the gum is finally available in the market. the big irony is that, you can only chew it for medicinal purposes. wekek!

In the US, it is very obvious that people love bubble gum. Stastistics show that an average american manages to chew about 300 pieces of gums in a year. Their love of the bubble gum is manifested in a place at San Luis Obispo california known as the “Bubble GUm Alley”. This is like a big art structure that involves two walls that are decorated with chewed gums that are deposited by passers-by for the past years. This place has become a hot spot in San Luis with 300 sightseers a day.

If you want to earn through bubble gum, you may not need to sell your sweat out. Did you know that in a dental museum located in University of Arizona, one of the most valued chewed gum is displayed? This one was chewed by gangster John Dillinger when he’s captured. IN 2002, the $10,000 gum was bought by Curt Mueller. This gum belonged toLuis Gonzales who was a popular baseball player. Now, who says that earning money is the hardest thing to do?

Bubble gum is small but significant. See, your memory and pocket can both earn from it. So now, always REMEMBER that it is possible to be rich with your bubble gum. It may be the crazy thing to do but once you encounter a star, bend your knees as you ask him/her to chew a gum for you. Dont forget  to take the video to show that the gum was really chwed by that popular icon. Then, bring it on ebay and presto, you may jsut be an instant businessman! (this is a joke but you can make it real wekek!)

 Now you know the perfect alibi whenever your mom forces you to spit it out. Tell her these facts and watch how your mom transforms into a pefect partner for your new business.
