Themed Chewing Gum Offers Spin On Political Change

Having been raised with an awareness of my occasional interest in politics....when my adult son saw a package of this brand of gum to the left on sale while out and about last week, he couldn't resist purchasing a package and bringing it by.

Ostensibly, the gum is packaged to promote the fortunes of whatever political party is printed on the label, as if I were to offer this package to a friend - I'd be also offering the suggestion that they vote Republican.

However it can be argued this product also offers a much needed anecdote for those including myself, who've been tempted to get out, register our opinions and on occasion bite-off (inadvertently or otherwise) the heads of equally enthusiastic fellow citizens out there espousing for the other side. Thanks to this clever marketing - we've a peaceful alternative. Instead of exercising our jaws on each other, we can chew on surrogates!

With this spirit in mind, my son bought me the GOP version of the product to share with friends. For those who lean right, a Democratic version of the product is available. It's a winning ticket we can all rally behind! Even our candidates!

So come out America. The time has come. It's time for a change. It's time for chewing gum!
