I was told that its a proven study that chewing gum or lollies while studying and while in exams helps you perform better ( dont ask me how!!!!) So i was wondering do you think if you went into the exam room with chewing gum they would make you spit it???

I have been using this theory while studying and i seem to be able to concentrate better then ever before!!!

Hey Annie, well, look at you!
Is that a new boy stuck on your shoe?
Come on Annie, how is it so?
You've always got a new bubble to blow

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna get done
I'm just a girl that's only chewing for fun
You spit it out when all the flavour has gone
Wrap him round your finger like you're playing with gum

Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong
You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum
Oh no, oh no, a slip of the tongue
You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum
Oh no!

Hey Annie, you used to be
The only girl to take it seriously
Come on Annie, tell us your trick
On how you keep on getting boys to stick

Okay, I'll tell you why - you'll never look back
It's my selection it's my pick of the pack
Well hot dog, I'm a chewing machine
It makes me smile and keeps my teeth clean

Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong
You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum
Oh no, oh no, a slip of the tongue
You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum
Oh no!

(I just wanna chew gum)

Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong
You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum
Oh no, oh no, no you're not the one
You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum
Oh no!

I don't want to settle down
I just wanna have fun
I don't want to settle down
I just wanna chew gum

Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong
You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum
Oh no, oh no, a slip of the tongue
You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum
Oh no!

(I just wanna chew gum)

Oh no, oh no, you've got it all wrong
You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum
Oh no, oh no, no you're not the one
You think you're chocolate but you're chewing gum
Oh no!

La la la la la-la la-la la-la la la
La la la la-la la-la la la la
La la la la-la la-la la-la la la
La la la la-la la-la la la la

Oh no!

i tried it during the trials. there didnt seem to be any detrimental effects (besides making it harder to hold in the need to go to the bathroom...maybe its just me *shrugs) and it does seem to keep you a little bit more alert and pumped. i think my pace was a bit more constant rather than having to go through the usual 15 minute rush at the end.

I chew gun all the time while I'm studying but only because it's a really good way of releasing stress when you can't get a question right :)
