Gum

I saw a commercial last night for gum that said that Extra sugar-free gum was a new and delicious 5 calorie snack. What the fuck?! Since when is gum a snack? Chips, nuts, pretzels, popcorn, cookies, these are snacks. Gum is not. Gum is barely a member of the candy family. But the ad did tell me that I could go from "nice gut" to "nice butt" so it must be magic gum. And if that is the case then they are marketing it all wrong.

Totally agree.

"Snack 1. a small portion of food or drink or a light meal, esp. one eaten between regular meals."

If I ever consider chewing gum a snack, smother me with bacon cheeseburgers.
