DC Gum Busters
After a long week chewing through work, do you fell stuck in your job? Like your efforts bubble up, only to pop? Do you want something more elastic? More cleansing? How about Gum Busting?
Yeah, you’re not seeing things – there really is a job, a need for industrial bubble gum removal. There is even an international need for gum busters too.
No word on if they use big blocks of ice or peanut butter, two ways I’ve heard to remove chewing gum from hair or clothes. Regardless, while not a job I would want, I do love that America is so rich, we have gum removal specialists.
I saw them doing this on Dirty Jobs–they use these portable industrial steam cleaners.
There was a WaPo article a few years back too.
They don’t need these guys in Singapore, that’s for sure. While I think Singapore’s gum stance is a bit harsh, perhaps we should resort to caning for bubble gum litterbugs instead of the chewers.
