More cases of TMJ reported from chewing licorice gum than reported from chewing shoe leather, aka 'chew leather.' lol.

Lol, Gershon. I had to quit chewing gum because I have TMJ. But I fondly recall chewing on Bazooka bubble gum as a kid. Have a restful Chicago evening with family. :)

Does your bubblegum loose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Sing it if you know it.
