saliva chewing gum

 forget toothpaste and mouthwash

dentists advise how great saliva is for controlling tooth decay so why not cut out the middle men (Colgate/Ultrabrite/Listerine) and go straight for Saliva Gum. Chew anytime for that 'not brushed feeling.' Forget rows over who left the top off the tooth paste and who swigged the mouthwash straight from the bottle (and left floaties). You could even have celebrity saliva which tastes like the real thing. So if you fancy swapping spit with Brad Pitt or Jordan (ok ..poor example) then just nip down the local petrol station for your celebrity gum...get the chinese meal and bottle of wine...and lie back and enjoy it!!!!!!!!!! Bliss at 26p !!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Last I heard, saliva contained an enzyme that eats your gums. Anyone?

       I very nearly gave this a (+)... when I misread it as "sativa chewing gum".

       Now I remember - it was my dentist who told me that. Some people have an excess of (something-or-other) in their saliva, which pre-disposes them to periodontal disease. I recall now that this group comprises a pretty small segment of us, so I'll remove my fishbone, which is, as we all know, a major source of plaque.

       yes but its yucky. I just want my saliva in my mouth, thank you very much

       I would want to spit the gum out.

       How does this work? More to the point, how do you chew a fluid?
—my face your, Jan 04 2003
   

       Yeah, it's time to back this up. What exactly does this idea consist of?

       /I would want to spit the gum out./

You wouldn't be the first.

       "Bliss at 26p !!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Have you checked with her lately on that pricing schedule, [elaine]? I was sure she charged more (and am told is worth every pence).
