Yeah, Bubble Yum works great. I was at a retreat a few years back with a lot of young women my age. I'd chew
up a storm and then drop it where I figured it would get stepped on. The first wad got walked on by a lovely
sandal, but she only went two steps and picked it off and deep-sixed it in a trash bin. The second was entirely
unsuccessful, but just like in a good joke, the third was the best. We were listening to some (non) motivational
speaker, half in folding chairs and half on the tile floor. Guess which I chose. I dropped my gum in front of the charir
next to me and hoped. A girl sat down with her sandals on either side of it. Trying not to look like I was staring, and probabley failing, I watched her feet stay still for ten minutes or so, then she moved her left shoe right on it and squished doen.
She raised her sole up a little, the gum had flattened but didn't stick. She stepped on it over and over until she noticed
it, or maybe noticed me. Then she took off her sandal and began rolling the gum into a ball with her summer
dirtied foot. She'd roll it up, then squish her big toe down into it, and roll it into a ball again. When the speaker was
done, I waited protectively over that gum until I could pick up that almost black ball and chew again.
