Well - by my screen name you would think I always snap. I had to play a charater in a dinner theater play one time that 'snapped' her gum all the time - and I learned how.....now I can't un-learn!

But I don't chew on a regular basis and when I do - the minute I think the gum is going stale - 5 minutes max - it is into the trash. Sorry for your pain T&P's Mom!
