text: i am finding wrigley foil wrappers in my wife purse, (the 20 pack) if has an odor like makes ears pop what is? there is no residue on the gum wrappers but when you smell it it gives you some type of head rush!!  the smell makes you kind of grit your teeth.  is there some type of new drugs out there i don't know about.  the wrappers are flatten and also there is always pennies around, desperately need answers. lol, it sounds to me like your wife just uses her purse as a catch-all. i wouldn't worry about it, gum wrappers and pennies and an assortment of odd smells (to a man) are quite common in the bottoms of womens purses. do yourself a favor and don't let her know you were snooping.
