This week, the EXTRA UK team kicked off the Chew Good FA campaign with football legend Theo Walcott! We're thrilled to offer FREE taxi rides to England games on match days, providing fans a stress-free journey equipped with EXTRA chewing gum and motivational pep talks from footballers Joe Gomez, Ezri Konza, and James Maddison! ⚽ Our latest research unveiled that pre-match nerves affect nearly half of Brits (43%), with finding a spot to watch the game adding to the stress for 48% of football fans. But EXTRA is here to help you relax and enjoy every game moment without the micro-stressors. To kickstart the service, watch Theo surprise fans heading to the England vs. Serbia match in London, spreading match day spirit and giving out EXTRA Gum for that extra boost. #ChewGood #ProudlyMars
