Q

After the ban was announced, the import of "The Generic Product" was immediately halted. When first introduced, the ban caused much controversy and some open defiance. Some took the trouble of traveling to neighbouring Johor Bahru, Malaysia, to purchase chewing "The Generic Product". No black market for "The Generic Product" in Singapore ever emerged, though some Singaporeans occasionally still manage to smuggle some "The Generic Product" from Johor Bahru for their own consumption. The ban has been partially lifted, as some types of "The Generic Product" are allowable, such as the ones for dental health. However, the government refuses to completely lift the ban for the risk of "The Generic Product" littering again. Name the "The Generic Product" ?

A-Chewing Gum
