"Does your chewing gum lose its flavour....."

[Allez-Cat]

I really, really have a ‘thing’ about dancers with chewing gum. It seems to me that 90% of chewers can’t chew gum with their mouths closed, so tend to resemble miniature front-loading washing machines on a ‘delicates’ cycle. Not particularly pretty, especially at close quarters. Any views?

They claim it keeps their breath fresh, but it looks horrible....
Then there is the man who always keeps a half sucked polo on his tongue and never closes his mouth - almost as bad....

I have been known to have a mint or two, I must confess, but I try not to make a big thing of it, open-mouthwise.

But, and this is the big thing, this lets me offer a mint in a "social" way to a partner with less-than-fragrant breath - i.e. "I'm having one, please have one too", rather than "Oh God, your breath stinks, please have a mint before I die of asphyxiation"...

Of course, I can also offer mints in a social way anyway

But chewing gum, no, yuk.

hate it.hate it.hate it!
clean your(I don't mean you personally,Allez Cat ) teeth and FLOSS and when you don't have time, those little dissolving postage-stamp sized things are excellent.

... and don't have four glasses of wine then proceed to dance draped all over me like a limp lettuce leaf with your sickly-sweet cheesy breath-ridden tongue lolling somewhere south of your chin(s).

Sorry. No one on this forum, obviously.
