gum recycling

D
I hope one of the people that left those gum pieces is the one that buys that pack. I hate when I go to move a table or chair and grab the under side and stick my finger into a piece of gum. It’s disgusting.
O
All but one or two pieces in the video is the same ‘freshness’, size, moisture, and barely stuck on. He is the one who put it there.
D
I see your point, but my sentiment remains. People that stick gum to the underside of tables and chairs are the scum of the earth
F
I think people who spit their zyn pouches into urinals are worse…
A
Is Zyn a thing in the states? Or elsewhere? Only really seen it in Scandinavia, but last summer I saw it beeing sold at a gas station in Croatia, which was very surprising.
O
They sell Zyns at every gas station in the States. I do not personally know anyone that uses them, but they are pretty popular.
S
Idk but it’s called snus in Europe
D
Snus is tobacco
M
Very much a thing now
Z
They’re huge in the US military

# Is Zyn gonna kill me and the boys? [](https://www.youtube.com/@GoodWorkMB) \- [Good Work](https://www.youtube.com/@GoodWorkMB) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmg3mLwHEBc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmg3mLwHEBc) Good Work is a great journalist. I highly recommend his work.
T
Those same people are also sticking them to the underside of tables and chairs. I work in a bar and I find those pouches stuck to everything now.
E
🤯 never thought about that. Blowed
D
As someone who uses zyns I agree here too. I always put mine in the trash find something to put it in until I can put it in the trash, and the people that spit it out on the ground or in urinals make all of us look bad
S
I just quit zyns but yeah. They not as hard to hang onto as a cigarette butt, people are just lazy
T
How is that worse
F
Because another person has to reach into the urinal to pick it out or potentially unclog an overflowing urinal after.
T
Yeah but that’s their job. I don’t understand how this is worse than the dickhead leaving a landmine for anyone to stumble on
B
Because the person who cleans the urinal has to pick it out??
T
Yeah, I’m not pretending it’s good, but how is it worse than the guy putting gum where literally any unfortunate soul may happen upon it?
E
What’s the question????
T
I mean at least you aren’t stepping on it in the urinal…hopefully
E
I said what I said…disrespect ain’t worse one way more than the other. Disgusting and I’d lose respect for someone who did this.
T
I’m not defending it, you just said yourself “ain’t worse one way more than the other.” I literally asked why one was worse than the other lol
E
The idea that it could be worse one way or another. Insane.
O
Agreed.
T
Especially when it is still moist and/or stretchy. It is bad enough when it is obvious what it is but is old and dry enough that you can convince yourself that it is just a glob of glue, sealant, or something similar, but, when it sticks to your hand and/or squelches under your fingers, there is no denying what it is.

I found a piece of gum under the handle of the elliptical trainer yesterday. I hope this person always wakes up on week days thinking it’s weekends, except on weekends.

When I first started working in my profession about 20 years ago, I went and spent my last money on a new suit to look good for work. I was so proud of it. I went to lunch with some colleagues and when I got up after paying my bill there was gum all over my pants. Some asshole put it under the table. Broke my spirit that day.
L
“I’ll take fake bullshit that didn’t happen for 200 please, Alex”
T
I mean, yeah, this specific video is old and fake. Might’ve given some people ideas though…
F
Fake or not. I hope it scares some gum litterers
Y
This is why SIngapore banned gum. Only gum they have is one that dissolves in your mouth.
S
It’s just a thing that channel does, reconstructing products from their broken-down parts. The gum was a comment request, they just “put it on a shelf” as a joke at the end and it went viral. https://www.tiktok.com/@restorationmagic (really annoying that the original clip linked here stripped out the creator’s name)
K
I mean we had “influencers” licking ice-cream in super markets when covid started. This is far from a stretch in a world that thinks likes mean shit.

H
Yeah as much as I want to believe it’s fake, I wouldn’t actually be surprised. Some people will do 500x more work to make a dime than it would take to legitimately make that dime in a normal way.
R
I sure hope it’s bullshit, but you know people have done worse for clout with much less effort.
M
It was funny though.
P
This is how COVID starts all over again
W
Not really, because the video is nonsense. All that gum at the start of the video was put there by the guy immediately before he filmed it
P
No shit
M
Why are we pretending this actually happened?
G
we’re not.
M
Its still funny.
L
But not r/WTF
H
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
N
For those who haven’t noticed. Every gum he picked up was just placed there. How can I tell? It’s still perfect gum color.
K
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
E
Diabolical. Prison time.
M
Unfortunately r/stupidfood doesn’t allow cross posts, but this should definitely go there.
