Hey Dev,
My sister and I were dining for lunch at my former fav restaurant. All was ok until my soup came out. Well long story short there was a wad of blue gum in my soup. I had to spend the rest of my day at urgent care getting tests done on diseases I could catch from saliva. What should I do? This is the most disgusting thing ever. The test results can take up to ten days. Like I’m sure you can imagine I’m a nervous wreck.

Dear GUMbo,
It sounds like you’ve got yourself in a sticky situation (he, he). I’m sorry, I don’t mean to make light of your matter. I doubt if you could catch much from the gum, especially if it boiled in the soup (follow your doctor’s advice, of course).
I agree that it’s disgusting. Hopefully you spoke with restaurant management immediately and that they’ve made amends with you to your satisfaction. And hopefully they chewed out (sorry again) whoever in the kitchen was responsible.
