Re: Re: 500 tons of chewing gum

In Singapore they ban the stuff. Sounds a bit over the top, but it works. Pavements are free of the gunk and none of it under chairs or tables in restaurants either. The US gov kicked up a fuss about it last year, and as a result they relaxed the rules a bit. You can now buy it, but only for oral hygiene purposes and thus from a dentist! Sounds like a few years back in Ireland when you had to go to the good doc to get a condom!
Was in Cork a few weeks back, and the fancy new Beth Ghali designed pavement on Patrick’s Street is already ruined with the stuff.
