the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that chewing gum is the second most common form of litter in the United States, after cigarette butts?

Unclear. Two sources support only that cigarette butts are the most common form of litter (one for marine litter, one worldwide), which covers just the first-place half of the claim. Nothing retrieved addresses whether chewing gum ranks second in the United States.
