NOT YOUR ORDINARY GIANT BALL OF GUM
After 6 years, Barry Chappell has created something that truly needs to be seen to be believed. Weighing in at 175 pounds and measuring 62” in circumference, Chappell has sculpted a giant ball made entirely of chewed Nicorette gum.
HOW DO YOU END UP WITH A 175 LBS BALL OF CHEWED GUM?
“What started out as kind of a joke between my daughter and me has turned into a really fun project over the last few years,” said Chappell of how the gumball started.
Chappell was a heavy smoker for many years, but his life changed 15 years ago when his son was born. He immediately quit smoking, switching to Nicorette gum as a means of transition, but it soon became so much more. What began as a promise to his family soon turned into a crazy adventure that would eventually set a world record. BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
