A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People chewed gum to fix their breath after smoking tobacco, and I don't see people doing that anymore either.
The ads never said that gum was for smokers, but it's for smokers.
Oh no, they absolutely did say that.
I distinctly remember commercials that said, “you can’t smoke at work, so you need such and such gum”.
That’s for a different reason, but it was tied to smoking at least.
