I clean my Fox 40 in scope every now and again, so it has that minty fresh taste for a while.

Plus, I "pop" a Listerine Strip before every game.

Like some others, I don't think I could walk, chew gum, and ref at the same time....

I know folks who do. I can't. One reason I can't is that I instinctively blow bubbles when I chew gum.

I use warm water and vinegar to clean mine. I'll have to remember to try your suggestion.

No. I'd fall down.

Yes I chew gum. Have been doing so for 20 years umpiring baseball and softball and the first basketball game I did this year I went without because I didn't know if I could blow the whistle and chew gum.

That was just one more thing that threw me out of sorts, put gum back in for the 2nd game that day and everything felt better.
