Already Been Chewed

Yup, as in ABC Gum. It's called the Market Theater Gum Wall, and it's in an ally near Pike's Place Market. The theater patrons began sticking their gum to the wall in 1993. According to Wikipedia, the theater employees scraped it clean a couple times before it was deemed a tourist attraction in 1999. It was deemed the 5th germiest tourist attraction in 2009. There's something to brag about.

In some places the gum is several inches thick and it's 15 feet high and 50 feet long. It's often used by wedding photographers. Can you imagine? No, I don't think I want a picture of myself in a wedding dress in front of a gum wall.


One of those things that's interesting and icky all at the same time!



Maybe no wedding dresses, but a good opportunity for a family pic! Not something you want to stand too close to for pictures!!! Ewww!
