Do chewing gum packagers intentionally make opening gum LOUD so that you have to share w/ people around you?

I swear it's a conspiracy. Every time I try to chew a piece of gum, I have to punch it out of the loud, crackling aluminum, and therefore, attracting every moocher in the vicinity.

Yes. But it is just one of many odd conspiracies the packagers have come up with, to frustrate the consumer: Make the packaging VERY difficult to open, so you will think it's a real PRIZE you are struggling for, not just a Barbie doll. Make the packaging bulky and cumbersome.

Place a tiny object on a huge cardboard, and cover it with immense amounts of thick rigid plastic. The consumer will "think" he has a full shopping cart, when actually all he has bought is a thimble, a pair of reading glasses, and a small alarm clock. Print "recyclable" on all those vast amounts of cardboard and plastic, in bright bold letters.

That way all the neighbors will see what others have bought - cheap, free advertising! You've uncovered another: Make packaging loud and obnoxious, on all food products and chewing gum. You will be forced to share, and buy some more!

Marketers! What clever plot are they coming up with as we sleep...

3 Well, I kind of think not - because then they wouldn't sell as much because the people who wanted some would just go bum some gum from their chum! .

How many people in the world like chewing orbit gum.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
