__Kratos__ Posted April 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I chew gum all the time so I hope this is true Just like how that other study said doodling was good. Obviously why I'm so smart *sees little green waves coming out of my throbbing skull* Got some eclipse spearmint going right now. Not really helping my chess game though.

The sensible way is to do a series of tests on several kids both with and without chewing gum. duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test is flawed The wierd part about you posting that pic on chavs is that I hadn't heard about that trend until about 5 min before you brought it up. I googled it and it brought up that exact pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmalerenamon Posted April 23, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can see how this would be true, if the gum served as a way of staying relaxed. I were a special pendant and when I hold it, I feel relaxed and able to think more clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoszerg Posted April 23, 2009 #17 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I see how it works now say a kid has to add up 1+1 so the kid counts his chews 1+1 = *chew 1* *chew2* woohoo it makes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
