I’ve never gotten more interest in what I’ve put on Twitter than my post of a few days ago about gum and chocolate. Yes, gum and chocolate. You know that if you eat a piece of chocolate while chewing gum the gum disappears? Yeah, just straight up disappears. Some kind of chemical reaction that makes the gum just… wait for it… disappear.

Thirty-seven years old and I never knew this until the other day. (Apparently no one else knew this either–this revelation should be shouted from rooftops immediately!)

I discovered this little trick in one of my son’s kiddie science experiment books.

Amazing what they’re teaching five-year-olds these days.

Gum + Chocolate = Nothing.

Mind blown.
