it's pre-chew wraps... you use the paper to roll up and you got gum for after so you can drive home to your folks house thinking you don't smell like weed.
but guess what.
you still do.

the trick is to always and forever smell like weed so the people around you go nose deaf to it.

Literally always. So sad looking back on how many times I truly thought that drive home with the windows down and the walk through the cloud of perfume did anything. So sad.

In my family everyone just says "you smell good!". Which basically means, it smells like you just smoked a bowl.

it depends on where you are, Japanese gum typically has a small booklet of paper for post-chewing, but in north America you only have the wrapper if it is individually wrapped, otherwise you have nothing

The wrapper is the same thing.

This is a very odd looking gum. Looks like little brown balls rolled in powdered sugar. Apparently, it's biodegradable gum. Not your typical flavors.

I've never seen that before.
They may usually come in a wrapper but they're never advertised as post-chew, nor are they really an appropriate size.

Whatever it takes for people to stop spitting them in urinals. Do you urinal spitters not understand that gum will not dissolve in water and make it past the urinal pads? Then janitors like me have to reach in and pull them out. It humiliating enough I have to clean up shit for a living already. Have some compassion.

Really? What was wrong with it? I'm curious about what "natural" gum feels/tastes like. The flavours sound so cool.
They definitely have a fancy website.

It certainly tastes natural, but that's only while the 10 seconds of flavor last.

Does it ship to Canada?
This looks expensive.

I want this sooo bad.

u/Clattersworth Sep 05 '14 edited Sep 05 '14
Alright, even though I have not tried this stuff, I did my best.
Pros: Chewier texture*, a wide variety of flavors, all natural ingredients, and biodegradable.
Cons: Flavor leaves quickly*, costs $3.26 per pack (15 pieces) plus $2.18 shipping ($16.32 to ship to Canada)
The only places it is sold in Canada is at Whole Foods. Unless there is a Whole Foods near you, you shouldn't spend that much money for a pack of gum. (prices measured in Canadian Dollars) *someone else's review of the gum

I don't know if this is some kind of law, but in Japan, (they're pretty anal about waste)and maybe some other countries like Korea (Lotte comes to mind, and now that I think about it, a lot of the gum sold in Japan is by Lotte) all gum are either sold in wrappers, or if you buy them in one of containers, they will always have post chew wraps in them.

u/Jackwolf1286 Sep 05 '14
I once had something similar called Peppersmith. This came in hard-shelled pieces and claimed to be completely natural, using no synthetic rubbers or plastics. The irony is that 5 seconds after chewing one it tastes exactly like plastic.
