Chewing gum, whether it's being used for bad breath, blowing bubbles, or simply for flavor, is unique in the world of snacks and candy due to the fact that it's not intended to be swallowed and thus needs to be disposed of in another way. As the result, chewed gum is an easy source of gross-out comedy in a work because it is sticky, covered in someone else's saliva, and has the tendency of showing up in places that'll lead to the grossest outcome... especially since gum can be found just about anywhere, which makes this trope surprisingly versatile.
Here are just a few ways it can be played:
Someone steps on or otherwise comes into contact with someone else's chewed gum. This can range from expected places, like the bottom of a school desk, or to the less expected, like in a Foul Ball Pit.
There's a piece of chewed gum stuck to something, and someone has to scrape it off.
Someone resumes chewing an old piece of gum, or they put the gum somewhere to "save it for later". Occasionally, the person chewing the gum won't be the gum's original owner, making it even grosser.
Crafty characters may invoke this trope by putting someone in a situation where they have to come in contact with gum.
The gum itself may be anthropomorphized as a slob, or more generally, be lumped in with other disgusting things or characters.
Sometimes, the gum is gross right off the bat, skipping the "chewing" requirement in order to play with the concept. This may be because certain "tasty" flavors suddenly become less delicious in the form of chewing gum, or just because putting something gross in combination with something that becomes gross just increases the overall grossness.
Ultimately, in any situation aside from the gum being chewed and disposed of in a responsible manner, this trope is likely to come into play.
Supertrope to Bubblegum Popping and Gum In Hair, but unrelated to Chew Bubblegum.
Truth in Television. Anyone who's made the mistake of putting their hand under a city bench or school desk likely came in contact with someone else's chewed gum before, and it's not sold in Disney theme parks as Walt famously hated the stuff. That also means this is too common to discuss, though, so No Real Life Examples, Please!

Dhar Mann: In "Thief STEALS From The WRONG GUY, What Happens Is Shocking", one of the thief's many karmic punishments is that he steps on a recently chewed wad of gum, a payback for having stolen a pack of gum earlier in the story. The camera cuts to a shot of it stuck to his shoe to emphasize how gross it is.

Mr. Bean:
In "Mr Bean Rides Again", Mr Bean is on a train journey, with a fellow passenger who cannot stop laughing at his book. Mr Bean tries many ways to block out the sound of this, and finally finds some discarded chewing gum under the seat, which he stuffs in his ears. This works so well that he is completely unaware of the ticket inspector approaching.
In the "bus stop" sketch, a baby in a pram cries, and Mr Bean tosses some chewing gum into the pram to silence the baby. The mother then pulls it out, as a long strand.

Neopets: While there are a lot of gum-related items that aren't considered gross or weird at all, this trope still comes into play when you look at the "Gross Foods".
The "Chewed Gum Ice Cream Cone", coming with Flavor Text that specifies that the gum was all chewed "by the cook".
The "Pack of Snot-Flavoured Gum" is a clear plastic bag of sticky green cubes with "an extra burst of snot flavour".
"Sardine Vinegar Gum", "Peanut Seaweed Gum", "Lime Chilli Gum" and "Sausage Mayo Gum" all depict gross, gray sticks of gum in an open package with an extra gross food added for good measure. The text even calls them all "repulsive".
"Dandergum" combines gum with dandruff; as in, the gum itself has a dandruff problem.
"Chewing Dung" is, essentially, chewing gum made from dung.

Archie Comics: One Betty & Veronica story has the girls laugh at a school rule that disallows chewing gum, since they seem harmless. Within the span of a few pages, they managed to repeatedly sit or step on various irresponsibly discarded gum, to their increasing disgust. By the end of the strip, they realize the benefit of the "No Chewing Gum" rule, and they force Reggie to throw his out when he tried to offer them some chewing gum later on.

The Ripping Friends: The first episode "The Indigestible Wad" has a little girl's beloved bubblegum (that she's been chewing since she was a fetus after her mother swallowed it) comes to life after being exposed to the dentist's x-ray machine. It becomes a supervillain craving people's fluids, jumping in their mouths to suck out their saliva. At one point, Chunk is drained into a withered husk, and Jimmy the Idiot Boy has to chew him back to normalcy. Which he does competently, up until he tries to blow a bubble with Chunk's head...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid:
In the original book, Ricky Fisher's establishing moment is Greg stating that he'll pick the old gum off of the bottom of desks and chew it if you give him fifty cents. Greg is not too thrilled to have this guy on his independent study group.
In "The Ugly Truth", Rodrick spits out his chewed gum at a swarm of moths, but he misses and hits Frank in the face with it. Frank gets so frustrated that he chases Rodrick around the parking lot, only to trip and twist his ankle (though he lies that he tripped over a toy car).

House of Anubis:
While blackmailing Mara, Jerome forces her to do a variety of chores. Aside from doing his table-setting duty, we see her forced to scrape chewed gum off the bottom of his shoes. She questions how he could possibly step in so much gum, and he claims he was just unlucky... seconds before Alfie walks in, notices some of his missing gum, and resumes eating it, much to Jerome's amusement and Mara's disgust.
Downplayed when Mara takes on her "bad girl" persona. She comes into class chewing gum, which isn't allowed. After being berated, she rolls her eyes and puts the gum behind her ear, which creates some grossed-out reactions from her classmates.
