I have literally never heard this in my life. But then, I have dry mouth and drink a lot of coffee, so I chew gum frequently because I kind of assume no one wants to smell my nasty unminted breath. Who knew my attempts at being courteous marked me as some sort of uncouth peasant!

As another commenter noted, sometimes medications can cause extremely dry mouth. I generally have a piece of gum in my mouth for this reason. I don’t chomp on it or blow bubbles with it, and my guess is that 99% of people who encounter me never even know I’m a Trident addict.

I take psychiatric meds. I’m betting Britney does too, if judging by her past exploits. The meds make my mouth unbearably dry—I can’t even swallow because there’s no saliva in my mouth. Idk, maybe she’s chewing gum to keep her mouth moist?

I don’t think of gum as “low class” (in fact, even using that term is hilariously snotty to me) but seeing it in someone’s mouth is def unattractive.

Lol...y’all are seriously nitpicking at Britney Spears for chewing gum while having a photo taken of her? Like, who the hell cares?

Chewing gum is low class? Okay

Are you in my house because that’s literally what happened here. Peaced out upstairs, mom calls me down, WAIT MOONLIGHT WON!

Nope, it’s a career-long thing. Lin will certainly get another chance.

So if Emma Stone hadn’t won, this wouldn’t have happened.

Never take someone’s EGOT away! That’s just bad form. Now he has to go through all this shit all over again!

I was honestly disappointed that Kimmel didn’t blame it on Matt Damon there at the end.

I first blamed movie star Drunkle Warren. Now I feel for some poor underling who fucked up the envelopes.

It was the Russians.

La La Land won, I peaced out upstairs before the speech and went to get ready for bed, then my mom yelled for me to come downstairs because there was a mixup and Moonlight actually won?! CRAZY turn of events.

What a twist ending! Did M. Night Shyamalan write this?! (LOL no)

What in the actual fuck just happened?!

Omg, this reminds me of the craziest fucking lady I ever waited on. So this lady orders a burger and asks for it well done but with absolutely no charring on it. She says if there is any pink or if there is any char on the outside, I will be wearing it. So, I relay this to the cooks, who look at me like I’m crazy.…

Thank you. My parents and me are poor and depend on the ACA. What’s going to happen to us?
