You know what it is. You see it at the store. You need it to survive. What is it? In case, somehow, you haven’t already figured it out, it’s gum. Just how long could you survive without it in high school? Take this quiz, hit submit, and find out.
Readers: this is the first quiz of this blog. Please comment and let me know whether or not you like it, and if you’d like to see more. This is not going to become a quiz-only blog, but a quiz now and then might provide a nice break in-between regular posts.

Where did you get this?
What do you mean?

How do you get a quiz for a post?
Oh, sorry. I learned (just enough) Javascript online so that I could create this quiz for my blog. Is there a reason you ask?

Because I want one too.
I could survive 120 seconds without gum… according to the quiz which is ironic… Because as a teacher I have a sworn duty to prosecute anyone who breaks the "No Gum" policy. LOL
Yes, that could be problematic. But remember, this is meant to give accurate results for someone during their high school years (so, if you were currently or when you were a high school student, you'd be gasping for air at the end of two minutes without gum). Normally, I'd alert your students and tell them to check out 5 Ways to Avoid Being Caught with Gum, but you've already seen it, so your students are pretty much doomed to slowly "gumving" (like starving, but comes from a lack of gum).
