February 3rd, 2023 - Bubble Gum Day
Another fun day to celebrate! Celebrated since 2006, and the founder of this day is a children's book author, Ruth Spiro. The first Friday of February. I remember reading in a news article, many, many years ago.. that if you chew gum for more the 30 minutes at a time, it's actually bad for you. Something about its ingredients, when chewed for a long time, it's bad for your health.
I chew gum whenever I drive, to relieve stress (I don't like driving). I chew a piece of gum no matter what distance I need to drive. I keep a pack by my driver's side door. A piece of gum in my mouth, before I start the car. If I need to drive for long distances that take more than 30 minutes.. I'd add a piece midway, or change it out. Oh, I also chew gum if I'm falling asleep while working at home.
As a kid, the Hubba Bubba's was the most popular brand. All the different fruit flavours, grape and watermelon were our favourites.
Nowadays, it's just the normal original flavoured ones I chew. Just mint. No more fruit flavoured ones.
Do you like chewing gum? Any preferred brand and flavour?

@Jaeteuk
There's a bubblegum day also?! This is interesting haha!
I like the fruit flavored ones and the mint flavored also, once in a while, I do like to try out some bubble gum!
Ooh also, anyone likes bubblegum flavored ice cream?😮
my favourite used to be the bubblegum flavoured icecream with the ball of gum under it!
like this one (got off the internet)
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@tommy ooh I haven't tried this one, it looks pretty fascinating lol. The one I tried was at a local ice cream store where they serve different flavors in cones/ cups.😄
yess i love ice cream popup stalls and shops. they do the best ice cream!
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@tommy Yesssss! :P
I have never seen this before!~
@tommy
they might be a uk thing?? i'm not sure! they don't taste all that great but were obviously extremely craved back when i was a child!
loving these threads! thank you so much jae <3
@Jaeteuk
Never knew that such a day existed ♥️
I love minty, green apple, or lime-flavored gum. I chew gum every day cuz it is a great technique to release stress. I learned about it during our business negotiation class. 💕
@Jaeteuk
I agree that it helps with stress. I must chew gum whenever I drive too! Make sure that you don't chew on the same piece of gum for more than 30 minutes though. I read in an article decades ago, that when a piece of gum is chewed for more than 30 minutes at a time, the chemistry in the gum changes and is bad for your health.
@lyricalAngel70
Wow! So, you drive too? That's great as I'm still a learner rn 🙈
Seriously? I didn't know that. Will keep it in mind from now onwards. Thanks a lot for the information ♥️
Have a splendid day
@Jaeteuk
I renewed my NEW DRIVER license recently, for the 3rd time. Afraid to go for the real road test, because I don't want to fail as I can't parallel park!
@lyricalAngel70
I could relate when you said that you were afraid to step out and drive your car as you don't wanna fail. However, behind every success story is someone who dared to fail.♥️
I believe that we must expose ourselves to our fears and that's when we can ace that fearful situations and events. What do you think of this? 😉
