  2. **Bursting your bubble: Chewing gum releases microplastics into your saliva, UCLA research shows**

    “_The research suggests that regular gum chewers could potentially be ingesting tens of thousands of microplastic particles a year, although the health effect is not known._”

  3. Ew. Seriously?! Thank goodness I haven’t bought any for decades.

    “Most chewing gum on sale is made from a variety of oil-based synthetic rubbers—similar to the plastic material used in car tires.”

  6. This seems like a good opportunity to point out the difference between recycling and downcycling.

  7. I knew chewing gum was illegal in Singapore 🇸🇬, but I did not know the reason why until now.

    Chewing gum is banned in Singapore under the Regulation of Imports and Exports (Chewing Gum) Regulations.[1] The ban, which includes all gum substances of vegetable or synthetic origin such as bubble gum and dental chewing gum, carries a hefty fine and possible jail term for those caught importing, selling or manufacturing chewing gum.[2]

    One of the objectives of the ban was to prevent vandals from using spent chewing gums to disrupt Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) services. Before the ban was enforced, there had been many instances in which vandals stuck chewing gum on door sensors of MRT trains, which prevented the doors from functioning properly and causing disruptions in train services.[3] The chewing gum ban was implemented to eradicate problems created by chewing-gum litter in public places like cinemas, parks and common areas of housing estates such as lifts, staircases and corridors, as well as the high costs involved to clean up the litter.[4] The Housing and Development Board (HDB) reportedly spent S$150,000 annually to clean up chewing gum litter.[5]

    So yeah, do not bring regular chewing gum to Singapore 🇸🇬, as they do not like it!
