This Is Why You Should Chew Gum
Given my multiple blogs on the topic of chewing gum (STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, COME BACK!), I had to share this video. Spoiler alert: there’s a benefit to chewing gum.

Beware of the rant! If you recall, I got into a bit of a fender bender in Ireland, and because I DIDN’T put the car on my credit card, and DIDN’T waive the absurd rental car insurance, and because I HAPPENED to be driving into an UNMARKED intersection in the middle of NOWHERE when a car came out…
