just curious, why didn't you stop drinking from it?

It's been weeks and you didn't think that maybe you should wash it every few days or so? Gross

Maybe your bottle just had bad breath?

I’m surprised gum is all you found if you haven’t even glanced inside your water bottle in a few weeks!

So you never bothered to look inside the bottle when you refilled it over the course of several weeks? That takes talent.

This is where the idea of mouthwash came from.

no, i tried to do this once and it didn’t work, but then again, i didn’t let it marinate for weeks.

You go weeks without washing your water bottle?!?

How? That's all I want to know. How do you go weeks?

Forget the fact that OP didn't wash their bottle for weeks... I'm more surprised that the gum held its flavor that long.
