Finally: world's first non-stick chewing gum invented

Do you hate the hassle of removing the troublesome gum off the sole of your shoe? If so, then you're in luck: scientists at Bristol University have invented a novel kind of chewing gum (about as novel as anti-obesity chewing gum?).We're looking at the world's first non-stick chewing gum that easily washes off with water.Christened as the Rev 7, the non-stick chewing gum may be on sale in the UK early next year. Made out of non-stick synthetic material, Rev 7 can be easily removed from shoe soles, desks (yes, sticking gum underneath desks seem to be a secret ritual in school), and from pretty much anything else.Rev 7's inventor Professor Terence Cosgrove explained the importance of the invention:
Chewing gum is a social habit that goes around the world. But, unfortunately, a large number of people dispose of their gum inappropriately. I am sure you have all sat in the cinema or in someone's car and your hands have wandered and found a disgusting sticky mess under the seat. It is unpleasant, could have health issues associated with it, and is unsightly. Yes, we all hate having to accidentally get our fingers caught in chewing gum moistened by some other person's saliva. At least with this new non-stick gum, cleaning the gum off won't be such a hassle.
