gum is a candy i hate.
it is sticky, horrid, and you cant swallow it.
Like seriously, why eat something you cant swallow?
its like eating ice cream but not swallowing it.
or like tasting wine.
what a waste!

Gum and it’s comparison to reality. It’s an abstract thought to think of but really, there’s not much different. The comparison is unimaginable, think about it.

gum. my grandma always has minty gum. spearmint gum, held by the matriarch of all things holy in my eyes. she’s a preacher’s wife, you see. forsaking the call of the world which was so appealing to her as a child, a preacher’s child, she dove headfirst into the world that she once despised. the preacher’s daughter turned the preacher’s wife.

The gum was stuck in my teeth. You know how gum gets when you eat it with something else? Yeah that’s a mistake. Don’t do that.
Sticky, Ooey, Gooey substance that vigorously excesices the jaw and comes in many colors and flavors. The substance was invented by someone at some point in time and has become highly popular in teenagers and as breath fresheners.
Chewy, pink gooey-ness squishes in my mouth as my teeth lose around it. The bubble forms and I’m off. Fist place in the bubble-blowing contest! My bright pink, shiny bubble is clearly dominant over the others. It gleams and grows larger every second.
Stephanie
I didn’t like gum but she revelled in it, chewing dramatically as I winced at the sound. Eventually it would annoy me to the point that I would tell her to leave. But then, she’d just chew harder, her cheeky eyes sparkling.
And when she finally listened to me, when she finally left, she never came back.
After I let go of his arm, his face splits open into a grateful smile. He gives me a view of toothless gums discolored with nicotine stains. “Thank you miss”, he warbles. He stops to let his tongue moisten his aged lips. “I always knew you’d get far.”
omigosh this is that one thing that will make everyone in school be your friend. one person goes, ‘anyone have gum?’ and one person goes yes. AND BAM. THE WHOLE CLASS IS AFTER YOU. and then that one person goes aw that was my last piece though. and the class becomes sad D:

Well that really gummed up the works, didn’t it? Do I have to be so careful? Apparently. Every little thing I do is relentlessly scrutinized. Maybe it’s not me, maybe it’s all that constant supervision.

gum is delicous. i like making bubbles with gum. all the yummy delicious flavors, and different colors. different brands. minty green… gum gives you cavities. gum is entertaining.
Sandy Arrue
you chew this. and you can blow bubbles. Maybe I should try and get a little more existential. Actually, i can think of teeth. My gums are probably gonna wither away one day. I have bad teeth. 8 cavaties the one times. That’s a lot, then they filled em. Cause that’s what they do with cavaties. Fill them. I’m so glad they got filled, but fuck it, my teeth suck

Gum has gotten me through middle school and high school. Throughout these puberty-filled years, I brought gum around everywhere. It helped me stay awake when my most boring teachers were teaching about the most useless topics. It got me through days of eating onions from my pizza and garlic bread.
Kris
It was already there, in text, submitted, permanent until changed again. The very word sticking out for its originality now plastered in an entry form header for everyone to write.

I like gums. I love it too. But it’s the worst part when it sticks to my shoes and worse to my hair. That’s awful. I know. Who could stand that?
The gum trees outside swayed with the wind. The rustling of the leaves, a soothing backdrop to a quiet afternoon spent curled up on the couch with a book.
Ah fuck, there’s gum stuck to me shoe!
I told you not to walk down that alley. Everyone knows it’s plastered over with gum every since the ’60s. They say if they every do road work back there, they’ll have to dig up over a foot of gum.
That is disgusting.
Gum. Gum under my shoe. Gum in my hair. Gum everywhere but my mouth. Get it out! Get it out! Get it out! Ewww it is. Sticky. Impossible. Mean. Everything but lovely. Oh gumm. How many times I tried to use it as glue. What to do when someone offers. What to say?
I once woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but when I tried to sit up the pillow came with me! I had forgotten to spit out my gum before bed, and now it was tangled in my hair and stuck me to my pillow.
Brittni
Gums from all stages of life-bright pink tape gum, sparkly sweet bubble-poppin wrigley gum, “burn off your nose hair” extreme minty gum, “taste like Shaun White” gum, dessert gum. All stuck to the inside pocket of my airplane seat, now stuck to my book. Gross, people, just gross.

Chewing gum is a fantastic thing, you can chew and chew all day long if you have the patience, and the endurance to overlook lack of flavor. However it is also known to help clean teeth, even if it is a well kept secret. I love spearmint the best.
Aerin
So people tell me all the time, and I mean ALL THE TIME, that I’m too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time. Well, I’ll have you know, that I can walk, chew gum, text, and listen to music ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Yeah. I only sometimes run into walls. But that doesn’t happen too often. Actually, on second thought…
Who knew that gum would be the reason we are married, the reason you and I hit it off that day? If you hadn’t offered me a piece of gum, if I hadn’t taken the pack and given you back a piece, if you hadn’t laughed when you realized you had been fooled, where would we be?
Destiny Shackleford
I never liked gum much. When I was small Mom said that if I swallowed gum, it would stick in my stomach. Forever. I didn’t like the idea of that. So I refused gum. It didn’t taste that great anyway, after the first minute. Sometimes it’s inconvenient to spit it out, sometimes it feels impolite to do so too quickly, like there’s some obligation to chew out the last bit of flavor.
“Dude, when someone offers you gum you don’t refuse,” Danny said, flapping the silvery wrapper in front of my face.
“What?” I asked, “Sorry, I never liked gum because – ” this was always an amusing little bit of personal history to tell.
“When someone offers you gum,” Danny said, “It means your breath smells bad.”
sticks to your mouth
distracts you from what’s happening below
turmoil and disruption
turning and tumbling
almost on the verge of apocalypting
but you take out a piece
and stick it in your mouth
it takes away the pain
and keeps you awake
so you don’t choke
it’s funny how your body works sometimes
built to keep you alive?
chew it. Stays in your stomach forever. That is a lie. Made from lots of rubber. Bad for your teeth. Freshens breath. Snoop dog does weird commercials for it. There are a lot of weird commercials for gum in general. I want gum.
Darren
I dont like gum it makes me sick i think its gross and my dad didnt like it either I dont want my children to chew any gum even though they say its good for your teeth
lucia
sticky sweet and salible. its taste makes all things interesting. the way it moves within your mouth is like life… it sticks to you .. .and becomes tasteless with time. This life-like gum…. then we spit it out when we are done. What strangeness this correlation… but true to form.
edgie
i just wrote about this word. you see, i stumbled upon this and so i decided to go on the actual website, and here i am. my favorite kind is 5. the new tropical fruit shit is theeeee shit. a bum chews gum
jake
Gum stuck in hair and peanut butter. A fix I learned from Judy Bloom perhaps? From one of her notorious Ramona books. Alas, with a jaw problem, chewing gum is not something i’m allowed to do. So I will never have this problem. But I think about taking the gum out of my daughters hair, and it seems a lot more charming than finding it on the bottom of my shoe. The universe showing my that other people are allowed to chew gum. What a slap in the face.
Sarah
gum. the numbe rone time waster in school. do you have a picece? nope. biggest lie in america. speaking of lies. if you dont tell the truth, are you lying? if you turn yourself away from the truth, are you lying to yourself? more on gum, 5 and trident are where its at.
jake
One day I choked on gum and I’ve never trusted it since. It was in primary school about age 12 and it shot down my throat and my face turned red and it was horrible. I don’t trust you, gum, with your smooth textures and nice flavours. Get in the bin. Also you’re crap when you get stuck to my shoes in the street.
Ged
chew with an open mouth like the girls in high school with empty brains but big hair. Chomp on it like it’s the bane of your existence and exercise your jaws for what may come in the future. Isn’t it great? Clean the residue of your last meal off of your teeth.
Liz
This is absurd. She groped under her table for the offensive sticky substance that had brushed against her cashmere sweater just a moment before. Her facial expression must have given her away, because her English teacher walked right over to her desk, ready to grill her on last night’s reading.
I enjoy chewing gum. I’ve heard that it’s good for your teeth and bad for your teeth. I don’t know which is true, but I enjoy it either way. It’s delicious to just open a new pack of gum and gob it into your mouth. I enjoy Juicy Fruit, but it doesn’t hold its flavor long. Big Red wrappers are fun to stick to your head.
juicy, fruity, flavorful, chewy, fun, gooey, sticky,

He doesn’t know the half of it.

The coagulated gum sat between her teeth and lip. She casually twirled it around her finger, teasing me slowly. I knew she’d be mine soon.
There was a piece of gum on my shoe.
On. My. Shoe.
Seriously.
Like, I totally can’t believe this.
What am I supposed to do?
It’s not even like, a plain piece of pink bubblegum, it’s like a purple grape monstrosity.
Hideously gooey, sticky and just plain flat out so not my color.
Seriously.
There’s gum.
On my shoe.
I really hope Mom doesn’t notice.
I really love wearing her boots.

What I buy before a step out for a night…. When will it ever be of use…. just slack jawed in thought and waiting for you to come into my life…

Big bubbles of gum stick to a young girl’s cheeks as she learns how to make them. A mess that time should freeze. And always look back to.
