This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It isn't illegal to possess and consume chewing gum. However littering, sales and distribution of chewing gum is against the law.
It's also illegal to import IIRC - friends who went there had their gum confiscated on arrival at the airport.
That's more or less correct yeah. It's mostly very difficult to enforce at a personal level, similar to anything that happens behind closed doors (that isn't digital, anyway).
