Frequently Asked Questions

Thanks to all you CelebriGum fans who have taken such an interest in the project.  Many of you have asked technical questions, which I will now answer.

Did you chew the gum?  No.

Then whose gum is it?  I don't know.  Maybe it was chewed by a celebrity!

What kind of gum is it?  Also unknown.  I'm reluctant to remove a sample of the gum and send it to a lab, even though this could tell us what kind of gum it is, and maybe even who chewed it.

How long has the gum been on the window ledge?  I'm not sure, but I think I first noticed it late last year.

Have you licked the gum?  No!  What's wrong with you people?  I will admit, however, that I touched it to make sure it was actually gum and not a blob of mortar from the masonry.

Did you wash your hands after you touched the gum?  Yes.  Jeez, calm down.
