Talk:Chewiness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I must question the metrics that you put forth in this article. Chew count seems incorrect by dimensional analysis. According to this definition, a king size Baby Ruth is chewier than a fun size, which is clearly not true. As for chew rate, it depends too much on the person. If we take chew rate to be chews divided by time, then chew rate could vary widely depending on how fast the person decides to chew. I think the obvious measure of chewiness is chews per swallow, which eliminates the flaws of the other two methods. TheKarmaCrip 01:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

TKC, I acknowledge that the metrics offer an incomplete contour of the tricky concept of Chewiness, but chews per swallow is disproved by gum. However, recent empirical research may bail you out here, as more and more people are swallowing their gum. Bristow 23:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
