Or you could just chew gum, that's always an option

Isn't gum really bad for the environment? Like the rubber part decomposes but the plastic part just doesn't? Not saying pacifiers aren't plastic and rubber, but they're reusable at least

Where did you get the idea that chewing gum is made out of rubber and plastic? 🤔

Edit: Thanks all, I had no idea!

Everything is made from rubber and plastic now. Bread? Plastic. Meat? Rubber. Vegetables? Plastic. Milk? Rubber. Chewing gum looks like rubber, but is actually plastic.
