Gum alternatives. Chicle? Gum Arabic?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gum_base has to be assumed to contain plastic. I shouldn't need to give a reference to explain why chewing plastic could be bad. (this shouldn't be legal...)

Sunflower Lecithin is an emulsifier. This is what emulsifiers do to your gut bacteria. Chew gum alternatives contain this. Maybe it's not a big deal for you but can we do better?

Over to raw materials:

Mastic gum: Only available from a small Greek island. Very expensive and difficult shipping post COVID-19.

Falim: Contains 'gum base'. We cannot verify what this is so we have to assume it contains bad stuff.

Next:

Gum Arabic?

Chicle?

In The Road to El Dorado (2000) one of the warriors playing ball against Miguel and Tulio is chewing chicle, a natural tree gum. Both the Aztecs and Maya traditionally chewed chicle as a way to stave off hunger, freshen breath, and keep teeth clean.

can i compost natural chicle gum?

i chew simply gum which is chicle based instead of plastic polymers like most chewing gum. i think it should break down because it’s basically just tree sap but i can’t find anything online about it. do you think i can throw it in my compost bin?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
