I lived in a very VERY Downtown part of the city, so there were constantly free full-sized samples at every corner from big companies that wanted to get the word out. I got a pack or two of gum, I specifically remember it being Mentos Red Fruit & Lime Tropical Gum (not sponsored). I used to go to the YMCA daycare/drop-in as a kid, since I wasn’t enrolled at school but just finished kindergarten in another country before moving. Anyways, I went to the bathroom (they let us go unsupervised, I guess? These weren’t kid-sized bathrooms), and when I was using the bathroom, I dropped the bag that I had with the gum in it into the toilet (don’t ask how I managed to, I just did). I took the bag out as nothing had happened. It was soaking wet. I went out to the kid’s area, took the gum out, and started offering it to other people. I didn’t want it because it was wet but was very surprised when other kids didn’t want it either. They were asking why it was wet and I said I don’t know. I ate my toilet gum all by myself. Yes, that’s absolutely disgusting. Yes, I did it anyway.
