Recycle Gum???
We are in the beginning stages of recycling chewed chewing gum and are trying to encourage everyone to help us acquire as much chewed chewing gum as possible. We encourage you to send your chewed gum to Cochran Consultants, LLC, Attn: Gum Raps, P.O. Box 771, Cypress, CA 90630. If you send us 100 pieces of chewed chewing gum we will send you a free T-shirt just to say thanks.
How to send chewed chewing gum:
First, read the interesting factoid on the reverse side of the Gum Raps sheet. Then, wrap your chewed chewing gum in the Gum Raps sheet and place it in small plastic re-closeable bag. Place that bag inside an envelope and mail it to Cochran Consultants, LLC, Attn: Gum Raps, P.O. Box 771, Cypress, CA 90630.
Based on the statistics above, you can see, the problem is not getting better; in fact, it is getting much worse. Lets all do our part in take an proactive approach in keeping the environment free from those nasty and disgusting gum wads!
We encourage you to chew responsibly!

Good idea but ewwww

01-30-2008, 06:36 PM

Wow. That is just wrong. I don't think I will be buying recycled gum any time in the future. all the packaging and excess mail deliveries i'm sure are more detrimental to the environment than a wad of gum on the sidewalk...

venusflytrap44 · 01-30-2008, 06:43 PM

LOL
I would think that they could find other uses for it than making more gum to chew?? I would definitely stop chewing altogether

01-31-2008, 09:32 PM

woaw, this is so cool!

Chrissa · 01-31-2008, 10:08 PM

I doubt they're making new gum with it, guys. LOL

I think they're properly disposing of it or making other uses of it.
Gum is a big problem pollution wise it's on sidewalks, desks & walls etc..

LOL I don't chew enough gum to get this free shirt, sadly.

Maybe this guy wants it!! :laughmonkey:

here it says with treatment it can be made biodegradable.

4. Chewing gum is not biodegradable and will stick to its surface for many, many years until treated.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

chicky82 · 02-01-2008, 12:38 AM

I'm not sure how you would mail something like that to them also I don't think I could chew 100 pieces to mail in

I'd have to have to carry a gum bag around but neat idea

Naomi · 02-01-2008, 04:23 PM

wow...we just have to turn over one of the tables here at work and we would get 10 t-shirts!! yyucccckkkkkkk

ami · 03-28-2008, 07:56 PM

Yes but then they have your DNA..

cbabe · 03-28-2008, 11:32 PM

umm i probably chew enough gum to get this but do we really want them having DNA and do we really want to save all that gum up? LOL

lol....i don't chew enough of it either

lll111 · 03-29-2008, 12:26 AM

The cost to mail in 100 pieces would be enough to buy a t-shirt you like yourself, or maybe even two or three t-shirts if there is a great sale.

crazycannuk · 06-16-2008, 12:57 PM

I don't think I'd ever spend money on something already chewed by god knows who..Pretty gross.

MelanieEarle · 06-16-2008, 01:51 PM

that sounds so nasty but whatever floats there boat.

That's really really gross. They have loads of your DNA and can use it at their may. :S

07-14-2008, 01:56 AM

It's kind of a neat idea, but it would cost too much in postage!

taz_2006 · 07-14-2008, 02:03 AM

okay this is just gross i dont want anyone stealing my dna off my gum then there would be a thousand me's out there that would be scary

:((((

07-14-2008, 02:17 PM

Weird> DNA anyone. Why would they want chewed gum. Gross!

destineydawn · 07-17-2008, 04:07 AM

DNA..... exactly what I thought when I read the title. It is probably like that Sweeney person who sold meat pies made of humans and everyone bought them and loved them. This "company" probably uses DNA from other people to commit mass crimes. Who wants to chew on used gum anyhow. SICK SICK SICK.

jen1993 · 09-13-2008, 09:20 PM

GROSSS!!! eww ewww ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

09-14-2008, 12:39 PM

Right. They are recycling chewing gum. Yet, you have to use an envelope, AND a plastic resealable bag to send it in, PLUS the gum wrapper. AND they want them mailed individually. That's a lot of garbage for one silly piece of chewed gum.
