That is some hard-hitting journalism!

I remember basing an entire science fair project on this exact premise in Grade 8... My BFF at the time, Erin, and I went and bought a ton of gum and basically sat around for an afternoon chomping, gossiping and drawing on bristol board - all in the name of science! It was a lazy idea at the time, and while New York magazine's reporters may have invested slightly more in this go around (if only because their graphics are better), it's certainly no more worthy a subject now.

Check out the article Taste Test: Gum if you care to find out some important, relevant information about gum - I am sure it's not at all sponsored or endorsed by corporations! I for one would rather see more articles on important things - like why Dubya isn't being impeached yet and what the heck is holding up widely available solar power?

If you're not interested in reading but wish to be influenced in your future gum purchases, then skip to the end results...
