The Chrysler Building. The Empire State. Grand Central Station. All three of these are architectural masterpieces, like those in many cities, that all have one thing in common: the sidewalk in front of them is covered in thousands of black spots. It doesn't matter how prettily we design our cities and buildings when bystanders spit gum chewed for 20 minutes that becomes an unremovable eyesore forever.
To combat this, UK company Revolymer has developed a pavement-friendly chewing gum that, once spat, becomes "removed within 24 hours by natural events," degrading due to its chemical composition. The gum is due to launch sometime next year.

Without the cracks in the sidewalk and walls the city cannot breathe
Why not just use black concrete or pavement instead?
Great idea, now the bottom of my shoes can be saved. But I don't understand why people are too lazy to walk 10ft to the nearest trash can.
Why not just leave it? Impruved it, make some design patterns with the same material.
I've been an advid gum chewer for over 31 years and am looking forward to trying this gum. I am a loyal gum brand chewer. I'm looking forward to switching brands when this arrives on the shelves. Aloha from Hawaii!!!
Gads... look at this gum problem I posted on YouTube (Type in GUM FROM HELL) on YouTube and see the mess. People didn't do this when I was a kid.
Here is the direct link to YouTube...
