Chewing Gum While Cutting Onions Makes You Not To Cry! by DickDastardly(op): 5:36pm On Mar 04, 2015
Onion contains some chemical that will be released when you cut onion. If you cut onion with very narrow knife, it can make you cry less. Our tears come from glands that produce water when our eyes  get irritated. Chemical that come out from onion make our  eyes teary. By moving your jaw  (like chewing gum), you can stop the gland from producing tears.  Without gum you can still hold your tears by constantly moving your jaw.
cool

Maybe when next you involve in any rally, make sure you have your bubble gum handy cause the Police might come calling to do their stuff grin
