Two inventors, Loredana and Ornelia were taking a casual stroll one day, when they stepped in a wad of gum on the sidewalk and ruined a pair of Manolo Blahniks. That unfortunate incident led them to create a device where people can throw their discarded gum, the Envyrobubble.
Before I worked at my current job, I used to be a manager of an Italian Ice stand, and every morning, one of my jobs was to go out and pressure wash the sidewalk in front of the building to remove all the gum. Undoubtedly, the next morning their would be a whole crop of black circles that were once people’s gum.
The gum is collected into the containers, 1,000 pieces at a time, and then, according to their website, it is turned over to one of the largest recycling companies in North America where they then turn the gum into fertilizer.
That is a really great idea! I hate having to try to find a place to get rid of my gum.
