A Gummy Macro Monday


Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)

My parents sent me this gum. I had never heard of Coffee Flavored Gum and was mildly curious. Apparently, Dennis was excessively curious as he ate what you see missing, in one setting - I shouldn’t be surprised, he does drink Espresso. . .maybe he thought chewing so many at once would be as refreshing as a huge cup of Espresso?

Me? Well I had to photograph before I could try. I did try this brown piece of gum - isn’t that what you usually find on the bottom of tables? It tasted. . .well interesting. I spit it out within a few minutes - guess it’s just not my thing.


Sorry I’m later getting this up, I was whisked away suddenly to go see ‘Star Trek’. I must say it was better than I expected - this from a non-Trekkie, but someone who did watch as a child. If you’ve never seen an episode of Star Trek I don’t think you would enjoy it as much as you would miss much of the comedy of it. That’s all I’ll see.

  1. I'm currently experiencing a considerable amount of dental-related pain(!) so the very idea of gum in any flavor makes me hurt. A lot. But it's an interesting shot in any case. Maybe after I see the dentist tomorrow I'll feel differently about it.

  2. Where did they buy this gum? I'm a coffee lover, I'd definately give it a try! I'm in for Macro Monday! Thanks, Lisa

  3. Can't find chewing gum here in Singapore since it's illegal to sell them. I usually get my fix when I go across the causeway to the neighbouring country Malaysia. But I've never seen this flavor being sold there.

  4. I don't like coffee so I wouldn't like it, but I never heard of coffee flavored gum before!

    wow, illegal to sell gum?? (reading Jama's comment) I never heard of that either!

    I used to chew gum constantly ... 24 hrs a day (and yes, even when I was sleeping!). At school we weren't supposed to chew gum but I just stuck it to my teeth and chewed it when the teacher wasn't looking. lol. but then I got braces and that cured me of my gum eating ... I occasionally have a piece but I can't chew it for more than a few minutes before I need to spit it out.

  5. I sure like the coffee part but I'm not a gum chewer. More for everyone else!

    Thanks for getting Macro Monday happening again.

  6. Great pictures, but not too inspired to try the gum, even though I do like coffee.

    How weird, I have been having dental pain all weekend and am desperate to see a dentist on Monday. Maybe that's why I don't want to try the gum.....

  7. Fortunately you first shot the picture and then tried. that's nothing for me either, I never liked gums in general. But your photos are an excellent publicity !

  8. I never have seen coffee flavored gum before. I am not a coffee person, but I do like to eat some coffee bonbons from time to time. Thank you for another great Macro Monday :)
    @ Mojo: I'm sorry to read about your teeth, Mojo. Hope it will be better soon.
    @ Jama: Wow, I didn't know that seeling gum was illegal in Singapore. Really amazing what you can find out through the Web.

  9. I like coffeeflavoured bonbons, so I actually could like theese. I do not usually chew chewinggum though...
    I hereby participate in you macro Monday for the very first time. (Almost a bit scary... ;)

  10. I don't think that would be my cup of coffee either ;)

  11. This must be a new product...I've not seen it. Not surprising to see though...now-days everything is coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  12. This is my first Macro Monday with you.

  13. Wonderful shots!!
    I don't "do" gum too well, but I have to admit that the thought of coffee gum....well it's not too appealing to me.

  14. um coffee gum...don't think I need to try that...but your photos of it are GREAT. My husband & I LOVED Star Trek. Of course, when we lived in the High Sierras during the early '70's, that's all we could get on TV. I'm ready for at least 3 sequels with these characters!

  15. Where did your parents find that gum? I must get some.

    I LOVE Star Trek, but am not quite a trekkie - I guess I classify myself that way because I have never been to a convention, I don't know what that means except to say my daughter wouldn't classify as part of the nerd-herd (or maybe she would?!) But I did go see the movie for Mother's Day and it was GREAT! Especially the part when Bones keeps injecting Capt. Kirk with remedies for his symptoms - LOL! OK, maybe I am a trekkie.

  16. I must admit I've never heard of coffee-flavoured gum. Hmmm.

  17. Picturing Dennis with a big wad of gum trying to squeeze out the coffee taste is priceless.

    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Positively bizarre. I don't worry so much about the Kona Coffee, but what are those artificial flavors? I'll pass on Star Trek also.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Never had coffee flavored gum. I like Frappuccinos (because of all the whipped cream, chocolate and sugar), but I don't like just regular coffee, so I probably wouldn't like it either.

  20. My post this week is so corny!
    Thanks for all the nice comments today :-)

  21. PS - I must get some of the coffee gum!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have never seen that... what will they do next... flavored coffee gum?
    Let's see... my favorite flavored coffees are Amaretto and Creme Brulee.... now, if they make a gum flavored like this, count me in! Great shots. BTW, this is my first time to Macro Monday! What great pictures are here!

  23. [...] this picture is for Macro Monday AND Ruby [...]

  24. Ewww. I am a coffee drinker but who WANTS that taste in their mouth constantly. Once you swallow your coffee you don't want the taste lingering ... *shudder*
    I took pictures of my irises that are fading fast. Beauty in destruction?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hmmm. Coffee and gum don't sound so good together LOL Love the pics though.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love the shots but most of the people I know chew gum as a breath freshener. Coffee flavor would be sort of counterproductive, but would probably taste great. I wonder if they have Starbucks latte gum. ~Mary

  27. Oh, wow! The color, the texture, the foil. I swear I can smell it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Awesome macro, interesting flavor? I am not a coffee drinker so the gum is not an enticement but your macros are!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Had been a little lost lately on the macros, so I'll try to post more, hope you like my linky, great job all, love the frog's macro!

    Cheers.

  30. I would like to try this new flavor. It's hard to get chewing gum in Singapore. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hmmmm...That's very interesting. It looks like a choco biscuit wafer. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fun images, I also had not heard of this gum. Sounds yummy to me.
    I saw this movie with my son this weekend, it was fun. Though my insides went for a bit of a ride. Guess I am sensitive.

  33. Lisa: Very nice close-ups of the gum.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Very interesting.... and did you know Juicy Fruit is yellow now? What happened to gray? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Coffee-flavored gum...? What will they think of next?

    ReplyDelete
  36. You find the coolest things to take pictures of.................................:)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Me neither, very, very cool. Hey, I got an invite to the All Candy Expo in Chicago. Didn't think I'd ever be able to go.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm, I am learning to love my coffee, but I am not sure I could chew on it. lol!

    Greg and I went to Star Trek last weekend, I thought it was fantastic! And hubs was impressed so that made it all the more wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think I would prefer real coffee. But the macro's are great!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love coffee, but somehow I don't think coffee flavored gum would do the trick for me. Nope, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. Great pics! :)
