Transcript: Gum
In an animation, a garbologist with brown hair and a brown beard drives a small truck through a garbage dump. The truck's roof has a propeller and a solar panel. A wide broom is on the truck's underside. On the side are a tool panel, a vacuum hose, a garbage bin, recycling bins for food and electronic waste, and a blue bin for paper, cans, and bottles.
[Upbeat music plays, tires screeching]
The garbologist says, YOU WANNA KNOW A SECRET? SOME OF THE BEST STORIES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR STINKY, SLIMY, ROTTEN TRASH. DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK THIS OUT!
The truck takes off. Smiling garbage gathers.
Title: Garbology.
[Whirring, upbeat music continues]
The garbologist lands his truck on a street.
The garbologist says, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO CHEWING GUM, THE WORLD'S SECOND MOST COMMON FORM OF LITTER.
SHE WAS HERE A SECOND AGO.
The gum says, I'M DOWN HERE!
The garbologist picks the chewing gum off the bottom of his shoe.
[Squelching]
The garbologist says, OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
The gum says, I'M USED TO IT. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
The garbologist says, UH, I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
The gum says, WELL, I HAVE SECRETS!
The garbologist says, DO TELL.
Two rubber tires fall onto a conveyor belt. A machine pours sugar onto the tires, which fall into a vat of pink liquid. Mechanical arms lift the gum out of the vat and play with it.
[Rustling, whirring, splashing]
The gum says, FOR ONE, MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA I'M MADE OF RUBBER, RUBBER COVERED IN SUGAR AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURS. SURE, I TASTED LIKE SPEARMINT, BUT REALLY I'M NO DIFFERENT THAN AN ELASTIC BAND.
The garbologist says, OH... OOH!
The stick of gum stands on a red carpet. Shiny tin foil wraps around the gum.
[Camera shutters snapping, crowd shouting, slide whistle]
The gum says, I'M POPULAR WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE I'M DRESSED UP IN SHINY FOIL, OR STUCK IN PLASTIC WHICH IS FUN TO OPEN. BUT AFTER THEY CHEW ME UP, PEOPLE JUST SPIT ME OUT.
A child opens a pack of gum and chews a piece. They spit the gum onto the sidewalk.
[Wrapper rustling, chewing, spitting]
The gum says, SEE THOSE BLACK DOTS ON THE SIDEWALK? THOSE ARE MY CHEWED-UP COUSINS!
The garbologist says, I NEVER KNEW WHAT THOSE WERE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE SIDEWALK FRECKLES.
The gum says, SOME OF MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS END UP IN THE WATER, SOAKING UP POLLUTANTS LIKE OIL AND CHEMICALS - AND POOP!
Two wads of gum sink in the water. A fish eats one and a frog’s long tongue grabs the other.
[Water bubbling, chomping]
The gum says, AND THEN THEY GET EATEN BY FISH AND FROGS. IT BREAKS MY HEART!
The garbologist asks, ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?
The gum says, JUST THROW ME IN THE TRASH WHERE I BELONG. IT SURE BEATS THE STREETS.
The garbologist says, DEAL.
The gum says, OH, THERE IS SOME GUM MADE FROM STUFF THAT WON'T HURT THE ENVIRONMENT. JUST ASK FOR GUM MADE FROM CHICLE.
The garbologist says, CHICLE GUM? I WILL. NOW, OFF TO THE GARBAGE YOU GO.
The gum flies into the vacuum hose.
[Vacuum whirring]
The gum says, THANK YOU! I HAVE ALWAYS DEPENDED ON THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS.
[Upbeat music plays]
The garbologist says, REMEMBER, KIDS, LOOK FOR GUM THAT USES LESS PACKAGING OR IS MADE FROM CHICLE, AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE CHEWING, JUST THROW IT OUT. REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE.
[Upbeat music plays]
He jumps into his truck.
[Grunting]
The garbologist says, SMELL YOU LATER.
[Whirring]
