I think I must be one of the only emets that HATES chewing gum. It makes my stomach sour after only about five minutes, and that n* feeling is exactly what I try to avoid so religiously! Most mint makes me a bit n*-- it reminds me of toothpaste, which reminds me of brushing my teeth after v*ing.
It might also be because if I ever offered her gum, my mother used to chew it briefly, then loudly declare that the gum had started making her n*, and dramatically spit it out with all sorts of relieved sound effects. [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img] Lame.
Normalcy is merely indicative of a lack of courage.
