Amazing Chewing Gum Art
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor in the museum overnight? Italian artist Maurizio Savini's incredible gum-coated sculptures are an impressive testament to bubblegum's resilience and visual appeal. The exhibit's website seems quite enamored with it, gushing, "The sensual act of chewing, the voluptuous warmth of rebelling saliva, the artificial and secretly aseptic fragrance which spreads from the mouth as a promise and missed kiss."
I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's pretty cool.
More neat food-related art features sushi, pizza cutters, and more.

That description is a little creepy, but the sculptures are definitely interesting.

The sculptures are awesome. On my to-do list for life is to build a french fry sculpture.

It would make a great performance-art piece to watch as rooms full of people attacked and ate the sculptures.
The big question would be how many people would swallow their gum and how many would spit it out and where. :)
Not that I'm against bubble-gum as art for the ages.
