A Gummy Macro Monday

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. Don’t forget to visit each other. :)

My parents sent me this gum. I had never heard of Coffee Flavored Gum and was mildly curious. Apparently, Dennis was excessively curious as he ate what you see missing, in one setting – I shouldn’t be surprised, he does drink Espresso. . .maybe he thought chewing so many at once would be as refreshing as a huge cup of Espresso?

Me? Well I had to photograph before I could try. I did try this brown piece of gum – isn’t that what you usually find on the bottom of tables? It tasted. . .well interesting. I spit it out within a few minutes – guess it’s just not my thing.

Sorry I’m later getting this up, I was whisked away suddenly to go see ‘Star Trek’. I must say it was better than I expected – this from a non-Trekkie, but someone who did watch as a child. If you’ve never seen an episode of Star Trek I don’t think you would enjoy it as much as you would miss much of the comedy of it. That’s all I’ll see.

I’m currently experiencing a considerable amount of dental-related pain(!) so the very idea of gum in any flavor makes me hurt. A lot. But it’s an interesting shot in any case. Maybe after I see the dentist tomorrow I’ll feel differently about it.

Where did they buy this gum? I’m a coffee lover, I’d definately give it a try! I’m in for Macro Monday! Thanks, Lisa

Can’t find chewing gum here in Singapore since it’s illegal to sell them. I usually get my fix when I go across the causeway to the neighbouring country Malaysia. But I’ve never seen this flavor being sold there.

I don’t like coffee so I wouldn’t like it, but I never heard of coffee flavored gum before!

wow, illegal to sell gum?? (reading Jama’s comment) I never heard of that either!

I used to chew gum constantly … 24 hrs a day (and yes, even when I was sleeping!). At school we weren’t supposed to chew gum but I just stuck it to my teeth and chewed it when the teacher wasn’t looking. lol. but then I got braces and that cured me of my gum eating … I occasionally have a piece but I can’t chew it for more than a few minutes before I need to spit it out.

I sure like the coffee part but I’m not a gum chewer. More for everyone else!

Thanks for getting Macro Monday happening again.

Great pictures, but not too inspired to try the gum, even though I do like coffee.

How weird, I have been having dental pain all weekend and am desperate to see a dentist on Monday. Maybe that’s why I don’t want to try the gum…..

Fortunately you first shot the picture and then tried. that’s nothing for me either, I never liked gums in general. But your photos are an excellent publicity !

I never have seen coffee flavored gum before. I am not a coffee person, but I do like to eat some coffee bonbons from time to time. Thank you for another great Macro Monday :)
@ Mojo: I’m sorry to read about your teeth, Mojo. Hope it will be better soon.
@ Jama: Wow, I didn’t know that seeling gum was illegal in Singapore. Really amazing what you can find out through the Web.

Wonderful shots!!
I don’t “do” gum too well, but I have to admit that the thought of coffee gum….well it’s not too appealing to me.

um coffee gum…don’t think I need to try that…but your photos of it are GREAT. My husband & I LOVED Star Trek. Of course, when we lived in the High Sierras during the early ’70’s, that’s all we could get on TV. I’m ready for at least 3 sequels with these characters!

Where did your parents find that gum? I must get some.

I LOVE Star Trek, but am not quite a trekkie – I guess I classify myself that way because I have never been to a convention, I don’t know what that means except to say my daughter wouldn’t classify as part of the nerd-herd (or maybe she would?!) But I did go see the movie for Mother’s Day and it was GREAT! Especially the part when Bones keeps injecting Capt. Kirk with remedies for his symptoms – LOL! OK, maybe I am a trekkie.

Picturing Dennis with a big wad of gum trying to squeeze out the coffee taste is priceless.

LOL!

Positively bizarre. I don’t worry so much about the Kona Coffee, but what are those artificial flavors? I’ll pass on Star Trek also.

Never had coffee flavored gum. I like Frappuccinos (because of all the whipped cream, chocolate and sugar), but I don’t like just regular coffee, so I probably wouldn’t like it either.

I have never seen that… what will they do next… flavored coffee gum?
Let’s see… my favorite flavored coffees are Amaretto and Creme Brulee…. now, if they make a gum flavored like this, count me in! Great shots. BTW, this is my first time to Macro Monday! What great pictures are here!

Ewww. I am a coffee drinker but who WANTS that taste in their mouth constantly. Once you swallow your coffee you don’t want the taste lingering … *shudder*
I took pictures of my irises that are fading fast. Beauty in destruction?

I love the shots but most of the people I know chew gum as a breath freshener. Coffee flavor would be sort of counterproductive, but would probably taste great. I wonder if they have Starbucks latte gum. ~Mary

Fun images, I also had not heard of this gum. Sounds yummy to me.
I saw this movie with my son this weekend, it was fun. Though my insides went for a bit of a ride. Guess I am sensitive.
