Would you accept gum offered by a taxi driver?

My uber driver offered me chewing gum, I’m sure perfectly innocent and he was just being nice. I took it but then thought better of it and put it in my pocket. I’m just curious if anyone would eat gum offered by a taxi/uber driver?

No I wouldn't, it's no different to a complete stranger walking up to you on the street and offering you some.
It's easy to refuse if you don't want to cause offence, sorry I don't like gum (or whatever they are offering)

No, probably innocent but I’d not risk it given John Worboys.
