What I do, is I buy the bubble gum and keep the receipt. I am careful opening the package, making sure not to damage it at all. I do the same thing with each piece of gum that I chew, keeping the wrappers in perfect condition. After chewing each piece of the gum and the flavor is gone, I carefully mold it back into a square shape, let it dry, wrap it back up with the wrapper, and place it back into the package. When the package is full, I carefully close it up, glue it shut, and let it dry. Then I return it to the store for a FULL refund of $1.49!
This best part about this is that nobody gets ripped off. I get to chew the delicious gum, and I am simply returning it to the store for my money back. It's a moral scheme.
