Answer 2

Naaaar ..but sometimes a pocket protector..comes in handy for all sorts of odd jobs..you know pocket money..doing jobs..tee hee..

Answer 3

i am 16 and i dislike gumm,it is like chewing rubber.

Answer 4

Where did you get that number from and how do you know the gum was purchased by or for kids?

I think the amount of money a child has varies depending on the income of their parents.  I never got money as a child and I'm in my 20's so I'm not that old.

Answer 5

Wow...I didn't know that.

And, yes they do have too much pocket money! Where are they getting it from anyway?

Answer 6

yes i agree with you, but mostly the kids have so much money is from their parents. it would be one thing if the child was earning it but these children are just mouching off daddy and mommy. totaly agree w.u

Answer 8

The most recent Sociological Survey I read (in this past

year) stated that teens in America get over $200.00

spending money per week.

Hard to believe, but the source was Academic.

I used to get a buck.

Answer 9

Some do and others do not. The ones that do waste it frivolously and the poor ones make our streets dangerous.It goes like this to me-If a kid earns money and spends it on gum, clothes or sports and games-no prob.If they waste it on drugs-BIG prob.If they don't have any and won't work and resort to robbing people-BIGGER prob.

Answer 10

more adults eat chewing gum to give up smoking.

teens dont wanna give up smoking yet, and the drag is only good if the moneys nicked so no worrys!

lol

Answer 11

Okay?  That's a strange statistic considering it doesn't include the amount spent per child.  That's probably around a few dollars a year...

Answer 12

Haha think though..there are close to 28 million kids in the US alone right? That equals about 17 packs of gum per child Wow $17 a year towards gum...most of it being bought with parents money sooooooo no i don't think soo......they're helping the economy so dont worry about it.
