I'm not really trusting my computer to not eat my project with everything going on, so I'm just messing around on my phone and trying to distract myself from the tv that keeps flipping itself on and off to different channels at random. Because that's not creepy one bit.

So youtube has been an awesome distraction. Maybe I'll find a funny video, or I'll learn something new. I saw one titled "What's Pink Bubblegum Supposed to Taste Like?", which is a question I never knew I was actually curious about until then.

So. Bubble gum... is supposed to taste like bubble gum. That was very informative. I'm sure I'll get those ten minutes of my life back somehow. Thank you, youtube.

	This is totally some creepy Poltergeist level shit that's going on. Though wow, what the shit? Of course bubble gum is supposed to taste like bubble gum? The things people post on youtube never fail to surprise me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I guess I should be glad it's not flipping through to deliver threatening messages or something like that. Ten minutes. It took him ten minutes to answer the question, which wasn't any answer at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is that, at any rate. I swear, if my TV says "They're here" I'm throwing that shit off of the tallest building I can find before anything can come out of it. Why the fuck would it take anyone ten minutes to answer that question? It's simple to answer in five seconds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or starts showing that video from that movie, that you die a week after seeing it? He went of on a long tangent about the history of bubblegum before finally answering it at the end. That bubblegum tastes like bubblegum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh fuck no. If that happens, I'm just going to run. And abandon my phone so I never get that call either. So it was basically a ten minute history lesson that was in no way alluded to in the title of the video? What an asshole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And with payphones being taken out wherever they used to be, good luck to her? Pretty much it. If it at least got into what the actual flavor was, I'd be less irritated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's definitely an upside to the lack of phones being everywhere if you don't take a cell phone with you. Samara can't catch you. Or Sadako, depending on whether you're watching the original Japanese movie or the American version. He could've at least led with that, and then went into the history lesson.

	If you're going to title your video "what is X"? then at some point you need to tell us WHAT X is, beyond "X is x." Put in however much filler you want as long as you actually answer the question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seriously. It's just common decency. Or something. Fuck if I know. But I kind of want to punch this guy now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You would think a channel called "Today I Found Out" would lead you to finding things out. Beyond "bubblegum tastes like bubblegum." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...I feel bad for the guy that invented it now. But I have to say, that gum is terrible. It gets tough quickly, but they still sell is and you still get it on Halloween so some people must like it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I mean, he got promoted all the way to the top eventually, which is better than if he'd gotten a one time bonus for it. Still, he should have owned the patent or something. Flavor still lasts longer than that stripey zebra gum? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermansdead 2018-10-31 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly, dude probably never really thought anything would come of it, so the patent probably never entered his mind. I've never had zebra stripe gum? But if I find any, I'll buy it now. I used to like the ones that had some weird strawberry liquid in the middle when I was a kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchgirl 2018-11-01 12:02 am UTC (link)
	It's called fruit stripe gum, and the flavor lasts maybe long enough to get the strip into your mouth. I don't think I've ever heard of gum with a liquid in the middle, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermansdead 2018-11-01 12:07 am UTC (link)
	If I see it, I'll definitely buy it. The one I'm talking about is called Bubbaloo. There was also one that came in a roll, sorta like tape. I think that was the best one I can remember for blowing bubbles. Now I want gum, even though I haven't had any since middle school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchgirl 2018-11-01 12:10 am UTC (link)
	I wonder if they still make it? And I remember the one on the tape. It was blueberry, lemon, cherry flavor, came in a blue dispenser? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermansdead 2018-11-01 12:34 am UTC (link)
	According to Amazon, which just took me like 10 minutes to get to, they do. 50 pieces for $9. The tape one had a few flavors, and the dispenser was whatever color the gum was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchgirl 2018-11-01 12:39 am UTC (link)
	That probably isn't too bad for that many pieces. And I only remember the blueberry because I saw all the flavors and got to blueberry and just thought to myself "this is how you end up in Wonka's juicing room" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Defnitely. You know, now that you mention it, I can totally see that and it's hilarious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Poor Violet. If she didn't hit blueberry, she'd have been alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermansdead 2018-11-01 01:16 am UTC (link)
	You think? I always thought like she and Veruca might have both just gone down the trash chute otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm surprised Charlie's grandfather didn't go down the chute, honestly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lol how come? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, besides getting Charlie to steal a drink in the factory. this guy had been laying in bed with the other three grandparents while Charlie's mom worked her fingers to the bone to take care of them all. And the second something fun comes up, dude is singing and dancing. I mean, I realize musical logic is a thing. But he didn't need any help getting around after that. He clearly could and just instead decided to let his daughter or daughter in law just... take care of the whole family without help.

	You know, I never even thought about that, but you're right. Like, it honestly would have served him and Charlie right to get a little rough chop from those fan blades if it weren't a kid's movie. As a kid it's easy to be like, woah it's a miracle! But now you mention it... yeah. He was not a really good role model. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That part of the movie still freaks me out. I know they're going to be alive and everything's going to be okay, but I still have to look away from the screen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
