There oughta be a law!
Method of Madness:
There oughta be a law against people using the word "hip" to mean cool or modern. I'm not against using old-fashioned terminology in general, but I am against using old-fashioned terms to call something new and exciting. It's not the '50s anymore.

In Singapore, it's even stricter than that. Chewing gum is completely illegal except for medical use, on the order of a physician. Kinda like medical marijuana in the U.S.
TOBAL stating that children under 12 (arbitrary age) have a curfew, and if their parents are caught yanking them around Walmart or somewhere at 11pm, the parents will be fined. And publicly ridiculed.
Method of Madness:
What's funny is that curfews don't usually apply if the parent is with their kid, at least I think. Also...what do you mean medical use? In what sense is chewing gum medicinal?
Bluesummers:
Apparently (according to wikipedia, etc) Chewing Gum may be used as a type of dental therapy...I don't quite understand the particulars.
The law originated because EVERYTHING in Singapore (it IS a pretty small country) was getting gummed up, from pay phones to elevator buttons to fire alarms. It was much MUCH more of a problem than it is in the U.S.
TOBAL against slow drivers in the fast lane. I swear to God almighty. If there is a traffic jam and I am in the passing lane, stuck there, I do NOT want to see the far right lane cruising steadily along unless there was a goddamn car fire in the left lane up ahead. Normal hustle-bustle traffic is NOT supposed to fuck over the people who use the roads properly (I drive about 250 miles a day for work...it gets to me).
Is it cold in here?:
Someone who has problems with a dry mouth (a hazard for dental health) might chew gum to encourage salivation.
