One strip every time I step on a basketball court. So a lot.
 
I don't like gum. Longest I ever chewed on a piece was probably 10 minutes tops

“Of all the consumer products, chewing gum is perhaps the most ridiculous: it literally has no nourishment – you just chew it to give yourself something to do with your stupid idiot Western mouth.

Half the world is starving, and the other’s going, ‘I don’t actually need any nutrition, but it would be good to masticate, just to keep my mind off things.”

Lol.

You can apply this to pretty much every non-essential first world product out there. Come on dude
 

Yep this one. I used to be more or less addicted to chewing gum when in school for around 2 years, seriously never ever stopped eating the stuff even though I wasn't supposed to there but I just couldn't help it. Generally stopped after a while and didn't have anything. Then I moved to mints for about half a year a year ago and now I mix between them, but I have gone with the above ones a few times lately, man are they strong.
 
It doesn't bother me when others chew, but I can't stand using it myself. For breath freshening, I'd much rather a simple mint.
 
I chew gum with fluoride in it, I don't know if it actually helps with dental hygiene but I've never had a cavity so maybe it does. Not all the time, but after I've eaten and can't be bothered to brush my teeth.
 
I used to chew Bazooka and Big League Chew all the time when I was a kid (largely because it a nickel a piece/dollar a bag and you got tons of it for the price.) Can't chew it now because I have a mouth full of fillings and porcelain, lol.

Orbit and 5 are my new gods

This is the only gum I ever get, it is wonderful for the first 10 seconds.
Haha. Fruit Stripe is the craziest gum ever. I don't know how it's still a product.

10 seconds BARELY. It lasts like, 5 seconds before becoming tasteless.

I always poke fun at Fruit Stripe every now and then when gum comes up in conversation.
 
Nothing against chewing gum, as long as you can chew it with your mouth closed. A friend's girlfriend chews gum all the time and does it with an open mouth. The constant "smack smack smack" is disgusting.
 
Used to never chew gum but then one day got a pack of...

Trident layers is pretty damn good. I don't even like fruity gum, I don't even like gum. But... something about trident layers keeps me coming back. Maybe a pack a month.
 
I don't like it, specifically: the smell of most gum, the people who chew loudly, the people who have to eat a huge piece at once, and the people who must chew it with their mouth's open.
