A parent asks a child: "Did you already have some candy?"
A smart child will then ask: "Define Candy" <chomp chomp chomp>

I CONSIDER gum not candy. It's GUM!

Well, gum's a kind of candy...

This Halloween and every Halloween for the past 50 years, kids have had gum deposited in their bag. Not a one of them has ever said "Hey, that's not candy!"

My kid never said that about raisins either.

Smarties are smarties - mentos are mentos - gum is gum. True, but they're all candy as well.

Is gum an addictive substance?

I swear I've seen some people in this world NEVER without a piece of gum in their mouth.

Actually, peppermint is addictive. Ever try to stop at just one mentos? Whenever I buy Peppermint gum my mouth feels gross unless there's some cool, refreshing peppermint going on in there!

Take a handful of mentos(the regular white ones..) and drop them quickly into a bottle of diet coke...let me know what happens..

Or about popcorn, or little bags of pretzels, or fruit...



Just asked my two kids that are in the next room, ages 8 and 11 ... hey kids, do you consider gum to be candy? Both said NO. I have smart kids.
