SonC says (really O.T.):
In Germany, the term for chewing gum is Kaugummi, translated
cow-rubber, because of the appearance of cud chewing.
Lately, however there comes news from the esteemed Mayo
clinic that chewing gum can help you loose weight by
"Increasing Energy Expenditure"

So, we can clean our lenses and get trim, huh?
