Once you are done with your gum, you fold the wrapper into a cute little [origami flower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series) and put the gum inside the flower. Now you have a colorful piece of art instead of a disgusting sticky gum on the street. It also provides a fun alternative to sticking the gum under the desk for kids at school.
