Okay, so the other day I was watching a baseball game, and I got to wondering, what the heck are those guys always chewing on? I mean, it’s gotta be something, right? So, I started looking into it.
First, I just watched a bunch of games, trying to see if I could figure it out from just watching, like a detective or something, but nah, that didn’t work. All I could see was that they were chewing, chewing, chewing, like a bunch of cows in a field. And sometimes they were spitting, a lot of spitting.
Next, I started to check out some online stuff, forums and some sports websites, just to get an idea of what people think. Some folks said it’s gum, others said it’s tobacco, and some even mentioned sunflower seeds. It was a real mixed bag. So many different video games, and a lot of that is useless.
After that, I did what any normal person would do – I tried them all myself! Yeah, I bought some bubble gum, some of that chewing tobacco, and a big bag of sunflower seeds. I started with the gum, which was fine, tasted good. But it got boring after a while, you know? You chew it for a bit, the flavor’s gone, and then what? Just keep chewing flavorless gum? Nah.
- Gum: Okay, but boring.
- Tobacco: Nope, nope, nope. Made me feel sick, dizzy, and just generally awful. That stuff is nasty, and I don’t see how those guys do it. Plus, it made me spit like crazy, and I’m not about that life.
- Sunflower seeds: This was a different story. They were fun to crack open, kept my hands busy, and had a nice salty taste. Plus, spitting out the shells felt kind of cool, even though my aim was terrible. I guess I can see why they’d chew these. I even tried to find some software that could predict something, but that was a dead end.
So, after my little experiment, I’m leaning towards the sunflower seeds. They seem like the best option for keeping your mouth busy without making you feel sick. But hey, that’s just my theory after trying it myself and seeing what others were saying. Those baseball players are a different breed, though. They probably got their own reasons. And that’s about it for my little chewing investigation. It was a fun little thing to look into. I’ve been spitting for days now.
