Chewing Gum
What happens to chewing gum when it passes its sell by date?
I've got a few packs of chewing gum that went off date in 2008, and I was curious what happens to it, I have had some of them and they're no different then they were 2 years ago. Is there any way they could make you ill?
I can't give you any technical answers, but I find expired gum to be very tacky and sticky. When you put the stick in your mouth, it is hardened and chewier...not in a good way. And I find the taste to be off.
I have to admit I'm only speaking for Extra Bubblemint gum, my favourite brand and flavour. This is how the gum texture and taste changes after the due date.
