Great shopping trip - the pics are great and really help me to see what you were seeing. Other than being better for your teeth, what else does gum give you that is different than soda? What does it give you that is similar to soda, that made you think of it as a potential substitute?
Gum takes care of my chewing urges, so I do prefer it over soda; however I do like the feeling of carbonation in my mouth as well so I guess it works as a substitute. There was also a time when I tried to quit smoking and whenever I wanted a cigarette I would have a piece of gum and follow it up with a drink out of a bottle. I think the bottle kind of was to substitute putting a cigarette to my lips. At that time I would only drink water out of a bottle but if I went a day or two without having a cigarette I would "reward" myself with a soda. I think it just kind of brings back the whole "reward" for me and I fell back into my old habits of when I was trying to quit smoking.
