The Wrigley gum company is planning to develop a gum that contains Viagra, which would work faster than taking the pill. The gum would begin to work after about 2 minutes of chewing, while the pill takes an hour or more. And think of the potential for practical jokes! Meanwhile, people who live near a Viagra manufacturing plant say they just have to sniff the air to benefit from the drug.
