[ WP ] Your decision not to buy a chewing gum at the grocery store causes a series of events that lead to global economic collapse .

• Person does not buy gum. 
 • Person was last in that day. 
 • Gum had to be discarded and re-stocked. 
 • Titular gum was mistakenly stacked in the bread container being shipped off to landfill. 
 • Container spilled with mostly harmless contents in a suburban town so bread was thrown into lake for feeding the ducks there. 
 • One duck choked on gum, and complaints were made to the bread company and the disposal company 
 • The magnate owning both companies hid the complaints for three years, when a reporter stumbled upon the old files and decided for that reason to continue digging - leading to the revelations that the company had been silencing complaints for the past ten years, and achieved this through ties to a mafia. 
 • Reporter gathered a following on the Internet and was a leader in a fight to boycott and bankrupt the company. 
 • The campaign was very successful especially after local police arrested or killed all known members of mafia. 
 • Hidden mastermind in mafia who had damning information on mayor of the area used the threat of the evidence to force him to lower the police force's budget. 
 • the official financial policing body of the country put more focus on this than on a new, feisty, soon-to-be-world-famous Ponzi schemer.
