Good thing I didn't try to walk at the same time!
It's kind of sad what topics ultimately motivate me to update my LJ blog.
I was trying to teach my wife how to blow bubbles with bubble gum the other day. I bought the only bubble gum available at my local 7-11: watermelon-flavored Hubba Bubba. I remember HB being a reasonable bubble-blowing gum, but this stuff was disappointingly subpar. Bubble radius was far short of a golf ball, and the bubbles popped almost immediately.
Other random comments. I pretty much stopped chewing gum once I got braces at 13, and I never got back into the habit. Twenty years later, I find that the advent of facial hair makes bubble gum a little more problematic (particularly when bubble gum pops all over your lips).
Does anyone chew bubble gum anymore? Which gums are good? Is it me, or has Hubba Bubba gotten worse? What other bubble gum-related insights do you have?
