Gum chews, what news, what news!

I am tickled pink to announce the 1st winner of the “Your Ticket to Glee” Sweepstakes!

Congratulations, a tip of the hat and a pat on the back to the very lucky Sadie S. of Kamas, Utah!

Goooooo Sadie! Also - cute baby!

The lovely Sadie found a silver runner-up ticket inside her last pack of Glee Gum. And that meant she won a swell prize package of Glee Gum and “Glee” show merchandise! Check it out!

And keep watching “Glee” Wednesdays at 9/8 c on FOX!

Here at Glee Gum, we get a LOT of donation requests. Nearly every day, we hear from an organization that would like to include Glee Gum in their fair or fundraiser. Hey, who can blame them? (Of course, you know my sentiments on the subject of Glee. Something along the lines of… YIPPEE!!!)

While we can’t accommodate every request, we do our best to spread the Glee far as the eye can see. This month, at the request of a dental hygienist named Linda, we sent some Glee Gum samples to a conference on autism. In truth, we weren’t 100% sure how Glee would be helpful at such an event, but were delighted to hear that it could!

Linda sent this lovely note with an explanation shortly after.

My job as the oral health consultant for Autism is Medical, Inc. is to provide parents and children who are affected with one or more difficulties on the autism spectrum with an oral hygiene program that is safe and effective. All of the children suffer from gastrointestinal difficulties associated with autism and its related disorders, and must be on incredibly strict diets. In addition, it is often the case that many of the children must be on liquid-only diets in order to “rest” their inflamed GI systems. It is my concern that not having food to chew will cause their teeth and oral tissues to become coated with plaque and debris, resulting in decay.

That is where your gum comes into play. The mechanics of chewing gum will allow for the teeth/ jaws to be functional, and for the oral tissues to produce saliva normally. Glee gum is the only gum that is safe for them to chew, as it doesn’t contain any of the irritating/ allergy-producing ingredients found in all other products… Parents are already overwhelmed by this disease, [so] it is nice when we can help them by pointing them in healthy directions.

Thank you again for your attention and generosity.

Gratefully,

Linda Cooling, R.D.H.

Thank YOU for sharing, Linda. This letter brings Glee, naturally!

Until next time, gum chums, here’s wishing you and yours a most Glee-ful Friday. Ciao for now!

Lately, have you been seeing green?

No doubt that’s because Glee Gum is all OVER the scene!

Let me help you understand what I mean. Glee Gum has been making the rounds from blogs to TV and everywhere in between!

First off, did anyone see Glee Gum on TV? In the last few weeks, Glee Gum has turned up on ABC’s “Good Morning America“, ABC7, and “The Martha Stewart Show“! Stardom, here we come! And unlike starlets, we do not mind if the camera makes Glee Gum look like it gained ten pounds. Just means more Glee for me!

All joking aside (for now), thanks to Melinda at Fit and Fabulous for hosting a Glee Gum Giveaway! Be sure to check it out today.

And…

Kudos to the folks at Go Dairy Free for being so enthusiastic about Glee! See which other Halloween treats made their top ten list here.

Three cheers for Planet Forward blog The Sustainable Scribe for posting “Glee Gum for Greener Lifestyles.” The bee’s knees, I tell you, the absolute bee’s knees!

Besides which…

Gotta love the SPEWD Free Mom’s suggestion for soy, peanut, eggs, wheat and dairy free gum. Yum!
