向8名受试者提供了17种不同类型的口香糖样品，重量在0.3至22克之间。在咀嚼样品20至100次之后，从口中取出口香糖团并测量其长度。推注长度随体重从0.3 g增加至4 g，但在4 g至18 g之间保持恒定，此时推注长度再次开始增加。与此平台相关的大小范围与其他食物的自然咬合大小范围相似。
Samples of 17 different types of chewing gum weighing between 0.3 and 22 g were presented to eight subjects. After chewing the samples for between 20 and 100 strokes the boluses of gum were removed from the mouth and their length was measured. Bolus length increased with weight from 0.3 to 4 g, but remained constant between 4 and 18 g at which point it began to increase once more. The range of sizes associated with this plateau is similar to the range of sizes of natural bites with other foods.
