Lots of people chew gum, and 84% of students polled said they like to chew gum every day. There were various reasons why the 16% of people didn’t chew gum. Some said it was just gross; they never really got into the habit of it; or they don’t like the idea of recycling their own spit. Jim Nelson, one of the administrators at Apex, even said, “If God gave me the power to get rid of something on Earth, it would be to get rid of gum!” Either way, only a minority feel this way. The people who enjoy gum have a large pool of brands to choose from.
