Sometimes having a song stuck in your head is fun, if it’s a song that you like and you’re enjoying singing along with it. Other times, it can drive you crazy—no matter what you’re doing, no matter what you try to distract yourself with, you just keep hearing “Baby Shark” running through your head over and over again until it has completely driven you insane.

If this happens to you, give this trick a try! I’m not quite sure what about chewing gum makes the difference; maybe the rhythm of your chewing disrupts the rhythm of the song in your head? Or may the noise of your own chewing in your ears drowns out the song? Either way, this is a fun way to get a song out of your head; plus, it freshens your breath. It’s a double win.
