    Anyone know why gum in your mouth turns hard when you drink water?

    Can’t figure it out, but there are so many wonderful minds in the CR, who I am sure will have some great answers.

    The gum becomes softer when hot and hard when cold it, works like rubber since it is made of synthetic rubber.

    I would think it has nothing to do with the water itself but rather the temp. change.

    It cools down the gum.
