Gum is a worldwide favorite. Everyone can go for a good piece of gum at some time or another. Gum can whiten your teeth, make your breath smell better, or just give you something to do if you're bored. Do you want to make a new friend? Nothing is better than offering them a piece of gum. They will instantly want to talk to you. Gum has helpful properties as well. It can prevent you from crying when cutting onions. It can also help you concentrate and improve your memory (which is especially important in recalling information during a test). For those of you out there who are worried if you swallow gum it will be in your system for seven years, don't worry, it's a myth! Probably the most important fact is that gum can burn 11 calories an hour, which prevents you from taking that long walk from the parking lot to the gym. There are some, including me, that cannot last a single day without chewing gum. It's not a bad thing! Although some people like to think differently.
