Especially when it\u2019s  only a temporary landing and you may want to stick the chewable back in  your mouth at a later, through hopefully soon, point. That\u2019s where this  Gum Shoe, a place to park your gum, is brilliant. Though I can\u2019t say I  really understand its construction as so little of the real estate is  devoted to the concave surface upon which the gum is to be placed.  Unless it\u2019s for a lot of different people\u2019s gum, in which case the heel  and all surfaces of the base seem like prime resting spots as well.  Though that seems so gross, a bunch of little germ mounds begging to be  redeposited in the wrong mouths. So I just keep my Gum Shoe on the  windowsill in my kitchen where it\u2019s also home to rings and anything else  that may need to be redeposited on my body once I leave the sink area.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25155\" title=\"gum-shoe-gum-catcher_2489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher_24891.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher_24891.jpg 450w, https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher_24891-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25151\" title=\"gum shoe gum catcher\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/gum-shoe-gum-catcher1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to do with gum when you\u2019re done chewing it or have to get rid of it for whatever reason can be a bit of a muddle if you\u2019ve already thrown the wrapper out, which most people do upon opening.
