Chewing gum

I love chewing gum. Orbit is especially nice. Trident is okay in a pinch. But have you ever thought about what it is exactly that you are savoring, when you swallow while you chew your gum?

Your own warm spit. That’s what you’re savoring. The tepid, sweet, fruity, perhaps even minty mélange of your own expectorations. Yum!
