Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit

Picked this little number up today for a fun afternoon project.

If you come across it, don't pick it up.
Walk away. Briskly.

Char and I would have been okay with the effort exerted to roll the gum/corn syrup base in sugar to make the gum. Okay with rolling the quickly hardening gum. Okay with cutting it into pieces and wrapping each piece in foil. Because won't that be fun?

It isn't fun. Because it tasted like...grossness. It just tasted like grossness. hard to chew, and definitely NOT tasty.

Kit was $12 at Garfield Park Conservatory. We worked on it for about 45 minutes. Blech. Don't do it.
