<p>While growing up, my mother didn’t let us chew gum in public. We thought she was ridiculous as none of our friends seemed to have that rule. Now I am so glad she stuck to her guns. My children are not allowed to either, but I notice that there are more and more people out there chewing gum, mouths open, popping it- so annoying! It looks so trashy!</p>

<p>That’s the only reason I ever use gum, actually… Madly chewing as I dash from my car to a client meeting, then spitting it into a kleenex to throw into the next trash can I see before I get to the building.</p>
<p>I recently saw some Orbitz sangria-flavored gum and bought it because it was a flavor I hadn’t tried before, but immediately realized, “Well, that was a waste. When the heck am I going to <em>want</em> my breath to smell like wine??”</p>
<p>My question is how long will it be before that is used as a defense for a DUI?</p>
