没吃饱不用付账？盘点世界各国奇怪法律

I arrest chew in the name of the law

Ever thought that chewing gum could land you in jail? Well, in Singapore, it has been completely illegal since 1992. The only exception is nicotine gum, but even then smokers can only get it from a pharmacy with a prescription. Chewing gum is legal in New York, of course, but cinema owners there must chisel all gum off the undersides of their auditorium seats every month. Makes trodden-in popcorn seem positively pleasant.

以法律之名逮捕口香糖

你以前有没有想过吃口香糖也会让你进监狱？在新加坡，从1992年开始吃口香糖就是一种违法的行为了。唯一的例外是尼古丁口香糖，但是即使是吸烟者也只能凭处方才能从药店买到这种口香糖。而在纽约，吃口香糖当然是合法的，但是电影院的老板们每个月不得不从那些座椅下面清除掉那些粘在上面的口香糖。所以电影院老板肯定更愿意你吃爆米花。

The indelicate delicacy

However, many local authorities have completely banned the consumption of this delicacy from buses, subways, hotels and airports. Is this yet another outrageous infringement of civil liberties? Well, since the durian is said to smell like a mixture of "pig-droppings, turpentine and onions", maybe not, on this occasion.
