.... your shoe, airline seat, aisle floor, arm rest or toilet seat overflight? Remember that old song? According to the Moscow Times, the Russian airline Pobeda has had it with sticky chewing gum. It claims to be spending thousands of rubles to clean up squashed wads from the passenger sections of their airplanes.

Therefore, the subsidiary airline of Aeroflot has banned Spearmint and all other forms of gum from its flights. Russian airport security is already super tight when passengers go through the line. So, just imagine what the guards will do if you show up as a suspicious chewer.
