CHEW ON THIS: BEER-FLAVORED GUM FOR KIDS

MERRILLVILLE, Ind. (Wireless Flash) – If you’re too young to drink beer, why not chew it? An Indiana man hopes to market a line of beer-flavored chewing gum for kids. Inventor Ira Scott says his new gum tastes just like beer and has as much caffeine as a can of soda. The beer-flavored gum will sell for $1 per pack and, while it mimics the taste of a cold brew, it’s completely non-alcoholic. Some parents might balk at letting their kids chew beer-flavored gum, but Scott claims his chewable brew is “healthy” and high in compounds that may benefit the heart and increase longevity.
