No, it’s not a messy substitute for duct tape, it’s [boob gum](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4361563.stm).

And I thought the vending machines dispensing girls’ used undies was silly. You can’t make this shit up.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “double-mint twins”, would you say?

Rose flavored?

Like the actual flower? Anyone ever munched a rose? How’d it taste?

Actually, I think there are recipes for desserts that call for roses-rose pastry creams and such.

Double the flavor! Double the Fun! Double the D!

I can’t believe no one else thought of that.

Roses or rosewater are used as a flavoring in Indian sweets. I once had a rose lassi (a sweetened yogurt drink) that was very yummy, with a very strong rose flavor.

There’s rosewater available in bottles in my supermarket, next to the orange flower extract and couscous.

YOU ALL MAY LAUGH, BUT I LIVE HERE!

Though honestly I am hoping for a return to the ultra-miniskirt fad more than that some gum chewing might maybe make a +0.05 increase in bust volume ten years from now. Just a bet on which has the better chances to brighten my day.

Admittedly I don’t have any particular attraction to Japanese girls beyond their being human and female, but after living in Seattle–the land of the hairy female leg\* --for several years of my life, to be graced in Tokyo with some very generous displays of what have fairly regularly been quite shapely legs was quite happy-making in my college years. Le sigh.

But if the gum works, I ain’t complaining. The Seattle girls do have them beat in that respect.

- I went to a very liberal high school. And…well, my leg hair lost to a girl and I can’t very well forgive that.

I’ve eaten rose petals a few times. They smell like roses, but don’t have a heavy rose taste. Just a light hint, IIRC.
