Forensic specialist Isaac Steindler explained to the paper that each piece of gum had nano residue that dissolved from the gum during the chewing process and lingered in our bodies for long periods of time. The substance not only tracked where we were going, but it also collected our DNA patterns, blood types, and vocal codes. Our personal information was then transmitted back to the Bubble Lip facility, where all the data was saved and stored. 

 

It is unclear whether the organization is part of an underground spy rink looking to overthrow the government, a powerful country of Earth fed up with the union, or a Martian initiative. Either way, it’s terrifying to consider the information they have on each and every one of us, and what they plan to use it for.

 

Several top executives of the company have already left the globe, and it is too early to say what they have in store for us, but it might be less delightful than leopard gum. Oh, the price of joy.
