Now to
my surprise I was given ‘Mastic Gum’ in place of coins by the cashier in a
super market. I was eager to chew mastic but struggled to open the pack. I want
the company Batook to know that it is very difficult to open the pack. There is
a possibility of the contents to eject out while opening the pack. The video in
this blog will demonstrate the plight of a person who wanted to masticate
mastic for its medicinal benefits.
