Was it true that it was banned in Soviet Union? I would love to know more about your experience there or any stories you have about the first time you chewed gum for a book that I am writing about chewing gum. Thanks!

I can see why. It is difficult to get in the mood when someone is chewing gum.. Very interesting, Gomer.

Chewing gum listed under condoms, contraceptive catagory. Make your own joke.
