In 2000, a study on Oxford Street, one of London’s
busiest shopping streets, showed that a quarter of a
million blobs of chewing gum were stuck to its
pavement.
In the lead up the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games, The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said:
"Gum detritus casts an unsightly stain on our
beautiful city and scraping it off our streets is also a
great drain on taxpayers' money.
Chewing Gym on street
7.
Idea
The wall is covered by
thousands of people's
chewing gum in Seattle's
Post Alley. Apparently the
sticking of gum on wall
started in the 90's while
patrons waited in line for
buying theater tickets.
Numerous attempts were
made to 'clean up' the alley
by removing off the gum,
but things didn't work out &
above are the results. The
gum spread into a Seattle
tourist attraction.
