Blow a Gum Bubble!!


Bubblegum is a type of chewing gum especially designed for blowing bubbles. Since childhood I was always fascinated and wanted to learn to do this, and finally did it now….Thanks to the trainer…
" Nothing worthwhile ever happens quickly and easily. You achieve only as you are determined to achieve... and as you keep at it until you have achieved.”

Blowing gum bubbles will require time to get it right, but it’s a multitasking, you can do anything with it. Keep in mind that many people can't abide the sound of bubbles bursting or gum-smacking, and it's extremely rude to make either of these sounds in public places.

The step goes thus:
Step 1:
Chew a fresh piece of bubble gum until you've worked it to softness. Push the gum around with your tongue so that you make many different shapes with it in your mouth. Keep your mouth closed at all times Use your teeth and roof of your mouth to pull and push the gum around as well.

Step 2:
Using your tongue, make a ball out of the gum using the roof of your mouth as a rolling area. Your mouth should remain closed and don’t make noise, some may not like it.
Bracing the edges of the ball with the back of your teeth and gums, gently push the middle of the ball with your tongue so it makes a small patty-like form as if you were rolling dough If you need to, help flatten the ball into a patty against the roof of your mouth.

Step 3:
Transfer the gum back to behind the front teeth. Brace the edges of the gum patty against your gums and top and bottom front teeth. Now push, with your tongue, further through the patty until a very thin layer of gum covers your tongue. Withdrawal your tongue out of the layer.

Step 4:
Blow in air, preferably not with your mouth but lunges...

Hooray! You blew a bubble! But may not be in first few attempts.. Repeat many times until you lose interest..I am sure if you enjoy it, you will not lose your interest soon, and its awesome, when the bubble is not broken you take it in again...

Keep in mind that absolutely no hands are allowed at any time in the process. It's strictly tongue-in-cheek.

Step 5


Dispose of your used gum properly. Don’t put it here and there, return it to its wrapper and throw it away.

Step 6

Cleanup
Gum that came from a bubble tends to be the worst to clean, because of its thin and extremely clingy nature. But don’t worry, it can be cleaned.
• From the carpet, try hardening it with an ice cube and then scraping out the gum with a dull knife. After most of it's out, try a warm, wet sponge and a very small drop of dishwashing liquid to gently rub at it in a circular motion.
• From hair work in a little peanut butter or cooking oil and comb it out with a fine-toothed comb.

This ought to be dedicated to my traineer...

So why delay, start enjoying the bubbling experience now…..Undoubtedly, I am going to cherish it!!! What about you?
