    No problem as long as it is not an ignited matchstick 😉

    If I were to snap the matchstick in two and fix it together to burn both ends at the same time. Would it only take half as long to burn?

    And in that general vein, does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

    No, I'd be more inclined to buy fresh gum. Thanks.
