Careful with such “obvious statements “. Chewing gum is illegal in Singapore with an exception for therapeutic, dental, and nicotine chewing gum, which can be bought from a doctor or registered pharmacist.
The answer is “it depends”.
It would be exhausting to preface most statements with "Police states aside,".
Does this apply to a country in which the police can seize money from the public during a traffic stop on a vague suspicion of it being illicit, and keep it with impunity? Country where people are advised “do not talk to the police”? Standards are different around the world, you know…
Hehe as a guy who thinks of himself as lucky to have been born an American, this was hilarious
I like the US very much and enjoy visiting the country more and more every time I come over. But let's be honest, some things could be better. Every place in the world has issues. I mean, it's illegal to bring a Kinder Surprise to the US!
Sadly not a lot of people share this opinion.
I agree that currently chewing gum is legal, however I do believe that chewing gum loudly shouldn't be.
