bust-up

I launch this blog with a word from our sponsors:

Bustup_gum_1"IF THE gym seems like too much effort and
plastic surgery does not appeal, help is at hand: a Japanese company is
marketing a breast-enhancing chewing gum.

Despite the price — about £10 for a pot of 200 pink tablets —
Bust-Up gum has been an instant hit with Tokyo women.The company that
makes it has received thousands of orders and plans to start selling
the gum from convenience stores."

Given the number of breast-enhancement ads that run in the Straits Times, this product should be a big seller in S’pore. That’s assuming that its therapeutic value allows it to skirt the ban on chewing gum imports.
