Ineffability
It was...interesting. Flavourful, and somewhat amusing. It was originally a natural by-product of trees, but that had all changed and Aziraphale found himself intrigued.
And worried. Bright colours, artificial flavours and as much sugar as could be crammed into the item. It encouraged crass and rude behavior such as talking with one's mouth full. But -- it was small, and really had very few calories, and -- if one chewed it long enough, it cleaned one's teeth. That was beneficial, which made it perfectly all right.
But it was sold with candy and confections, and tasted like the sort of sugar-laden sweet that was classified as dessert, junk food, and forbidden things.
Aziraphale put the stick of chewing gum in his mouth, and began chewing.
He'd committed worse sins before this. He was fairly sure, once Crowley showed up, that he'd commit more. It didn't alleviate his guilt.
But all the best things on Earth seemed to involve guilt, and the fear that God would find out what he'd done.
