Barry Chappell Unveils 175-Pound Ball of Chewed Nicotine Gum

January 29, 2012

Barry Chappell recently unveiled a 175-pound ball made entirely of nicotine gum that he'd chewed and then saved over the past six years. The ball should be even bigger -- Chappell has been chewing Nicorette for 15 years -- but as it stands, it's the world's largest ball of chewed medicated gum.

The 175-pound ball of nicotine gum contains some 95,200 pieces. Barry Chappell is set to receive his Ripley's award live on Art and Coin TV on Jan. 26. For more ABC gum, check out these chewing gum paintings.
