Did you ever notice in nearly every episode in the late seasons of Seinfeld somebody is always talking with their mouths full? Jerry, George, Kramer & Elaine... there're always eating and always have something in their mouths while they talk!

I think they did it to show how uncooth they were... but they could have been doing it because they're always eating cereal, or talking in the coffee shop or other restaurants. For example, in "The Blood" George talks with his mouth full almost the entire episode, (the fornicating gourment episode).

They masticate in practically every episode! They should have a contest where they vow to swear off mastication!

Imagine: Being forced to swallow your Honeycomb cereal before you begin speaking... No more tilting your head back in order to keep soup in your mouth while you talk.

Remember the Kramer line at the end of 'Merv Griffin?' "I wasn't sure I was ready to have my own talk show set." He says the whole line with probably a tablespoon of soup stored in the hollow of his tongue, then quickley swallows and smacks his toungue around his lips! Amazing!

This is no odd occurance... in order to talk and eat with your mouth full you have to plan it.
