The Laxative Effect

As read on the back of a piece of gum
"Excess consumption may have a laxative effect"

Mmm a laxative effect you say? I wonder how much gum I would have to 'consume' in 'excess' to get that 'laxative effect'.

This is a little journal I started writing on Tuesday night while not being able to sleep. I was bored and I do not care if you think I'm weird after reading all this. I'm weird! There you can think I'm weird BEFORE reading it, hehe. It's less confusing that way.

Gum used: Extra's wildberry sugarfree gum
Back up gum: Eclipse's wintergreen gum

1 piece: 10:34pm Sugarfree? Aww that sucks. Why make sugarfree gum anyway? Oh wait, doesn't chewing gum after meals do something. To your teeth or something. I dunno. I'm bored

2 pieces: 11:58pm Argh I forgot to check the time to see how long I've been chewing. I just checked now. Almost an hour. Thought I'd add an extra piece, might speed up the process

2 pieces: 12:03am Gah bad taste in my mouth.. icky

7 pieces: 12:05am Check the packet. Mmm excess huh? Ok adding more pieces

9 pieces: 12:07am Added some more pieces, you can never be too sure while doing an experiment. Hehe least I'm experimenting on myself

9 pieces: 12:30am Maybe I could get my dog to join in? Bah.. she chews it for two seconds then eats it

11 pieces: 12:40am Added the 2 pieces I had before. Question: Is it possible to light up your whole room with glowstars?

11 pieces: 12:48am I feel like a cow chewing grass...

11 pieces: 12:50am My jaw hurts!

11 pieces: 1am Chewing gum isn't as good for blowing bubbles like bubblegum. Guess that's why it's chewing gum and not bubble gum huh? Wow I just figured that out

12 pieces: 1:30am Next thing I'll do is test the different tastes between laxative chocolate and ordainary chocolate, lol

12 pieces: 1:35am Listening to music and chewing to the songs. Gangsta's Paradise makes a good chewing song

12 pieces: 1:40am Thinking about when I chewed 21 pieces of Eclipse green chewing gum and modelled it into a wedding cake for my friends. I'm so weird

12 pieces: 2am Argh it almost got stuck in my hair!

12 pieces: 2:30am Think I'll write every half hour. I can't do any tricks with gum

1/2 of the amount: 3am Lol too much gum in my mouth. Mouth is full of drool... I feel slightly retarded

1/2 of the amount: 3:30am I was thinking of the sexiest man alive and Rex Hunt came into mind. I don't know why, he probably kisses like a fish

1/2 of the amount: 4am Finally sleepy. Going to bed. Won't keep the gum in my mouth cos I might choke and die on the gum. That'd be a good way to die though. Death by gum

3 pieces: 8am I guess the effect won't work now? Dammit

3 pieces: 11am I remember Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. That girl chewed gum for over 8 hours I think. I wanna beat her record!

3 pieces: 3:11pm Nick just told me I have to SWALLOW the gum to get the laxative effect. Fuck that! My mum said it stays in your stomach for ages if you swallow it.

1 piece: 3:39pm Nick said it stays in your stomach for 8 years! Ewww!
