Wtf? No gum before drug test? Why?

I'm going in for a pre-employment drug test tomorrow morning. I'm pretty sure I should be good. Had like two small hits two weeks ago and none for a while before that (and a tiny line which I hadn't done for like two years prior... All day drinking party, tried to combat fatigue and it was there. Wish I hadn't, I dont like that shit). I'm still a little paranoid cause that's just how I roll. After you fail one, it's always on the back of your mind.
But I just got off the phone with the chick and she said "When you come in don't have any gum or mints in or we'll have to wait 15 minutes before we can start." Obviously I'm assuming this is going to be one of those saliva tests or some shit? Or is she thinking I'm going to be chewing something (bleach gum? ) that might alter my piss test?
What's the deal with this? Anybody ever hear of this stipulation before?

I'm waiting for a drug test for employment soon myself. Smoking fake weed, cigarettes, and a lot of booze. Never heard of no gum, though. One job made me empty my pockets first. Could it be one of those mouth-swab tests?

Yeah, the cotton swab test only goes back to like a week. Some people say they've smoked 2 or 3 days before and passed it.

It has to be a mouth swab test. Ive went in to a test with clean synthetic urine and they baffled me with the mouth swab. They never said anything about gum though.
The line will be outta your system in 2-3 days.. Assuming it was blow.. You should be fine if all you had were 2 tiny hits of herb in past 2 weeks and even less before that... Good Luck!

in a pre-employment drug test they told me to take any lighters and cigarettes out of my pockets
I was like, "How about my cell phone, ke...." "I said lighters and cigarettes? No? Then I don't care."
Beats me. Was I gonna light a smoke and throw the temperature reader or something?

Thanks guys. This is better than I could've expected. Not trying to get cocky about it before I even take it but from what I know and you guys have just said about the saliva/cotton swab tests I should be golden.
Got myself a job working outside with plants in a garden making sort of decent dough. 
Labowski: How long had it been since you smoked when you failed that one? Almost positive I'm good but just out of curiosity.

Everyone I know says the cotton swab can be beaten within days of smoking a lot.
Even daily tokers that I know have fooled it having smoked the day before, so they say.

I've heard the best way to beat the mouth swab is excessive brushing and cleaning of your teeth and gums a couple days before. Then, before the test suck on a mint.

Skittles are damn good, I'm more of a Starburst man myself though. I'll see what they have to offer me. If I pass, I'll give them the credit even though it's probably more to do with the not smoking for two weeks.
Good luck on yours gzuf.
