cm^3 Gum
Shape gum into cubic centimeters | |
Reduce packaging (lower wrapper to volume ratio) and encourage the use of the metric system subliminally.
Edit: Other uses:
Medical-"get me 50cc's of gum, stat!"
Engineering-"Where'd I put my ruler? I'll just use my gum."
3d modeling-build a CNC router that accepts cm^3 gum so you can shape
thousands of statues of Chairman Mao, credit to [wagster], or better yet, a cheaper, space-saving alternative to terra cotta warriors.
"One cubic centimeter..."

This somehow falls short of the spark of genius I was hoping for. Can't you shape them into little statues of Chairman Mao or something? |

Is that a cubic centimeter, or a milliliter? |

Not gonna work, here in our very English U.S. of A. The only thing I understand metric-wise is soda bottles. All changing gum shape this way would do is expand that understanding to include both soda and gum. |

Until Ladanian Tomlinson has four meters to gain for a first, we will never fathom the metric system. |

At least you could spell "metre" correctly. |
