Spell your name. In gum.

Neat! Spent some time trying to input nonstandard characters, and the real weird one is that F1-F11 correspond to P-Z on the alphabet. F12 doesn't correspond to any letter or input sequence, nor do any of the number keys. The limits to the space are not based on number or length of lines, but on the sheer number of characters, which is interesting.

This looks like the work of Jogchem Niemandsverdriet.

I cannot believe how fast they chewed up the gum and shaped it into the letters of my name. Magic.

Needs tighter kerning. Otherwise a very serviceable type-to-gum engine. Could not help imagining smell.

Fast?? The gum took forever to load. Maybe the flavor I chose was stale?

Anyway, I played with it a while, got bored, then it stuck it to the bottom of the desk when I was done.

This feels deliciously like something from early 00s internet. Like I might have found it on memepool.com. (RIP)
