Gum Is A Snack?

I absolutely love commercials. I really do. Commercials were made for people like me. Beautiful people buy things, so I want to buy them, too.

I don't see as many commercials as I used to see because DVR has changed my entire life. However, occasionally, mainly during Family Guy, Dave and I will watch the commercials just like old times. We're just waiting for the show to start back. We might grab a cup of coffee or another glass of wine, but we're still watching the same channel.

It was a moment like that when I saw a commercial that characterized "Extra" gum as a snack.

Seriously. A snack.

Now, I've been a serious snacking person for the better part of my life, and now I'm supposed to believe that gum, yes, gum is a 5 calorie snack. OK, maybe Extra gum really is a mere 5 calories, but is it really a snack?

No, it isn't. And we shouldn't pretend like it is. It's a breath freshener. It's a smoker's paradise. But it most certainly isn't a freaking snack. Twix is a snack.

Trust me on this one.
