A South African is enjoying a hearty breakfast - bacon, eggs, coffee, croissants, toast, butter, jam, etc. when an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and starts an unwanted conversation: American: "You South Africans eat the whole bread?" South African: "Of course." American (blowing bubble with his gum): "We don´t.In the States, we only eat what´s inside. The crusts we collect in a contain
Dal titolo si può intuire che le due forme d'arte siano correlate... chissà cosa si possa creare con la gomma da masticare e il fumo, inteso come hashish? :)
Andiamo con ordine, dato che le due cose sono separate ma le ho voluto unire in un solo post per pura pigrizia: Maurizio Savini è un artista italiano che ama spiaccicare chewing gum rosa (il più classico dei colori!) per le strade delle c

If you’re hell-bent on seeing the new Apple 3G iPhone then you’ll need something that can record the mission without revealling itself. Thankfully we’ve got the tool for the job. The superior chewing gum camera with built in flash memory and microphone. Just the spy gadget for people who can’t get caught with a camera.

Q. I get a lot of gas and someone told me it would help if I stopped chewing gum all the time (ex-smoker). That sounds like bunk to me. What do you think?A. It’s not bunk. When you chew gum, you swallow more often and some of what you're swallowing is air. In addition, artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol that is found in some gums can give you gas.But, what exactly, is gas?Most people produce between a pint and a half-gallon of gas each day. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from swallowed air make up a large part of gas or “flatus.” Fermenting foods in the colon produce hydrogen and methane as well as carbon dioxide and oxygen.The unpleasant odor of some flatus is the result of trace gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, and skatole, which are produced when foods decompose
We became familiar to chewing gum from childhood as it represented, at a certain moment, one of the most favourite products for children. Nowadays even adults frequently use chewing gum because it helps them focus better, because they want a fresh breath or just because it is a manner to quit smoking. Beside the well-known disadvantages that chewing gum has (it grows gastric tartness and it enlarges the jaw), we can also mention many advantages in this case.
Chewing gum increases the power of concentration
Chewing gum helps us concentrate better on the duties we have at work and especially on the intellectual activity of our hand. Also, many drivers suggest that chewing gum helps them remain concentrate while driving.

As we just noted, Collins flack Steve Abbott opined yesterday to PolitickerME.com that, when it came to investigating Iraq war contracting, Collins simply had more important things to do:Steve Abbott, campaign manager for Collins, said in the three years Lautenberg pushed the issue, the committee dealt with reports from the 9-11 commission and the Hurricane Katrina hearings. They oversaw mergers involving 22 federal agencies--the biggest reorganization in modern history. They dealt with intelligence reform.But let's unpack this.As we've seen, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) was already agitating for hearings by September, 2003.Now, the 9/11 Commission Report wasn't published until July, 2004. And Katrina didn't even hit until August, 2005 . (More on Collins' incomplete, Bush-friendly Katrina inv
Italian artist Maurizio Savini uses chewing gum as the material for his art and these sculptures are creatively well done. That’s a lot of chewing gums for the size of his sculptures and I wonder if he actually bought those from the supermarkets.

A sweetener used in sugar-free chewing gum, some toothpastes and thousands of other products could be a severe health risk, doctors warned.Sorbitol, also known as E 420, can trigger severe weight loss, abdominal pain and diarrhoea.A report in the British Medical Journal today highlights the cases of patients who lost up to a fifth of their bodyweight.The cause was eventually traced to excess intake of sorbitol - one was eating 14-20 sticks of gum a day.Dentists recommend chewing sugarfree gum to increase saliva production, which reduces cavities and strengthens teeth.Wrigley, which owns many of the brands sold in the UK, has seen its sales in Europe grow by a third since Sorbitol is also used in sugar-free sweets, some cereals and foods aimed at diabetics.But gastroenterology experts in Ge
The following appears at the beginning of an article in The Telegraph about the burden of e-mail:In the London Library, the natural habitat of the London writer, there are two main rooms where people work. In one, the Reading Room, people do exactly that - read.In the other, the Computer Room, they tap away on computers.Over the past couple of years, I've noticed an odd thing. The really prolific and distinguished writers - A N Wilson, Sir Tom Stoppard, Alan Bennett - tend to sit still, reading in the Reading Room. to which I responded:The reason "the really prolific and distinguished writers" have so much to write about is that they do exactly that. It's the old principle from Ecclesiastes 3 that there is a time for everything.They have learned what our parents tried to hammer into us tha
Although chewing gums are banned in Singapore, my cousins managed to "smuggle" some in. When I was young, I was chewing some gum while massaging my mom's head. Being a naughty child, I placed the gum onto my mom's hair, and I got panicked! *^@#$!!!I can't remove them at all! So I grabbed a nail clipper, and start cutting her hair.Mom: "What are you doing?"Me: "Errr....nothing."Luckily the gum was at the ends of the hair. If it was at the roots, she would have one bald patch =P Sorry mommy... (She still doesn't know about this situation yet...sshhhhh!) If you are experiencing this similar situation, all you can do is to apply a generous amount of peanut butter and rub the gum till it comes out. Easy, and all you need is patience!According to 1st-time-mom.com, you can also apply salad oil other than peanut butter.

Much research is underway, financed by the USA military, to create a chewing gum to replace the toothbrush. Some commercial companies claim to have "medical" chewing gums already on sale to the public, but whether these claims are true or false, is uncertain.
Early chewing gums were marketed partly as palliatives, using ingredients and flavors that people

Una gomma da masticare che fa passare l'appetito, è quello che stanno studiando alcuni ricercatori inglesi.Ci sono quelli al cioccolato come sostituti del pasto, quelli che contengono caffeina per tenersi su. Alcuni sono studiati per ridurre il colesterolo, altri ancora contengono il Viagra. Ma ora il pianeta dei chewing gum starebbe per vivere una vera e propria rivoluzione.Un prodotto popolare L'idea è di Steve Bloom, ricercatore che da anni lavora a una gomma da masticare capace di dare il senso di sazietà e quindi aiutare a dimagrire.L'idea è ancora in fase sperimentale, sebbene da anni le cicche siano seguite da vicino dall'industria farmaceutica, che spera di trasformare a suo vantaggio un business dai numeri importanti.Secondo un recente studio, infatti, solo nel nostro Paese il consumo di chewing gum si attesta attorno alle 23 mila tonnellate annue.Facile quindi pensare proprio alle gomme come veicolo per medicinali e cure altrimenti difficilmente somministrabili.Al
