This is a really interesting story that highlights both the multiple origins of gum and how groups engaged in meaning making around its consumption. Of particular interest to me was the examples of the Aztec because they very same actions could be seen as deviant, acceptable, and/or questionable depending on who was engaging in them. We suspect we see similar trends in space and time with regards to other activities that are seen as undesirable/criminal
