Blow bubbles or go under the knife? Now you may have options. A Japanese company has created the world’s first chewing gum that will increase the size of your breasts. The main ingredient in the “B2UP Body Make-Up Gum” is a wild plant extract called pueraria mirifica which, according to tests carried out at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University, was able to enhance breast size by up to 80 percent.

Other side effects of the miracle gum supposedly include smoother skin, less wrinkles, thicker hair, and the alleviation of menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms.

B2UP Body Make-Up Gum has been a huge success in Japan, America and Russia with more than 100,000 bottles sold since March 2005. Overall statistics claim a 95 per cent success rate and women have reported seeing changes in roughly 2 months.

Is the gum a gimmick? It definitely has its critics. Let’s see if this catches on in other world markets – it is doubtful that anyone has heard the last of this product! Women, if you have tried this so-called wonder gum, your comments on this blog are welcome.
