If you chew gum when you study, chew the same flavor of gum when you take a test and it will help you remember what you study. Some people have tried it, they said that it worked. I kind of don't believe it but it might work. Older people prefer the gum flavors cinnamon or mint while kids and teenagers up to age fifty prefer fruity flavors. Gum can be attracting because of its colors if I was them I would choose all the neon colors for the gum to make it more attracting. Kraft foods made a type of gum which I call the multi flavor gum but in reality it is called "stride shift". Kraft foods gum changes flavors it starts out as a flavor and then changes to mint. Gum can reduce the chance of cavities, and strengthen the teeth if you chew sugar-free gum.

Jane Mason says that her dentist tells her to eat two pieces of gum every day which I am pretty sure that is a bad idea so I would not recommend it. It is a waste of money(not).

In conclusion, gum is a thing that everyone except Africa uses everyday and some people like it and some people do not like it. Gum can strengthen your teeth if you chew it a lot and it also makes your teeth white. Gum can be found all around the world and it can come in different textures and sizes. I do not use gum very often so do not come crying to me when you do not have gum at school.
