What's On My Mind #7 -Gum Rant

I was reading the nutrition facts on a package of Wrigley's Extra Fruit Sensations gum in the flavor of Sweet Watermelon and found it very interesting. Apparently it contains 2g of sugar alcohol which is a type a alcohol produced in sugar. (lol I can get drunk of this stuff jk) It also says "Calories 5" but the serving size is 1 stick. That is kinda weird because you don't really eat gum so why would it limit you to "eat" one a day. It's kinda ironic since Wrigley's statistics states that an average person burns 11 calories for every hour a person chews gum, so why in the world would the packaging say serving size 1. Through personally experience of being in middle school and having few friends in high school/college, I know that most students don't just chew on only one stick of gum a day. Now whenever people ask me for a second piece of gum, I can be like "uh nope serving size 1 stick only"
