How hard is it to make a package of gum that wont fall apart in my pocket? Everytime I buy a package of my favorite gum (wintergreen cinnaburst stuff) the package falls apart in my damn pocket. How hard is it to put some glue on the damn package so it dosent fall apart? Whats up with that? After just 2 days in my pocket I find a bunch of sticks of gum floating around in my pocket. What a pain in the ass to fish them out, and tape the package back together so I have a package of gum (no I shouldnt have to be proactive and tape it before it falls apart damnit!)
Those who make gum/candy wrappers – go feltch a goat!

Anyway, about the gum, if you buy those little five piece things, are you saying that after two days you haven’t changed your pants nor chewed the five sticks of gum? You just need to step up your chewing apace and change your pants more frequently.
Oh oh oh! I have an idea - you could make a little gum-holder out of like a plastic box. It would look dorky, a little, but only if you do it in the same color as your pocket protector.
I have taken to buying gum that is packaged in those pop out bubbles… we pack medicines like this where I work. I ran a pack of gum through the wash and the package remained intact and the gum stayed dry.
I didnt think that I would have to state that I do change clothes everyday, and that the 25 stick pack of gum moves to the approiate pocket each time I change pants, but I guess with the simpletons that inhabit the pit I shouldn’t be surprised…
I’d imagine the cost of Kevlar packaging would be prohibitive. Still, you’d think they’d acknowledge that enuff folks carry gum in their pocket that it justifies beefing up the glue quotient.
Would it stay cooler if you rolled the pack up in your sleeve like cigarettes? It would LOOK cooler, that’s for sure.
They make those special cases for cellphones, and during the gulf war they even made a special case so that soldiers would carry a bottle of Tabasco on their belts. Maybe it’s time for an enterprising designer to make a “gum holster.” Leather for everyday, sequins for Oscar night.
Cranky reaches for phone to call Elsa Klensch (she’s on my speed dial) to set up a lunch to discuss…
Now look here Billy Bob, you redneck, sheep fucking, sister dating, mother beating, wrestling watching idiot. Before you drool out some more of your limited brain cell supply try reading the posts above. I know how to solve the problem (tape the package before it falls apart) I am commenting on the fact that I shouldn’t have to do that. While you are wondering why I am calling someone a simpleton why don’t you wonder how the hell you can get your IQ higher than the number of teeth you have in your mouth. Better yet, reenroll in Elementary school, go for that GED! Maybe even get that diploma in 10 years, if you managed to make it past the 2nd grade the first time around.
