## The story

Every wrapper got folded into a tiny zigzag link and hooked onto the last one. Chains snaked across bedroom floors, under doors and down hallways. Rumor said the longest one in the county wrapped around the gym twice. Nobody chewed gum for the taste anymore. They chewed it for the wrapper.

## Fun fact

Kids measured their chains in bus seats, and anything over forty seats earned lunch table legend status.
