When i was younger a friend told me chewing gum was made from cat guts, they got the guts and added flavour to it, it never stoped me chewing though

i was told if you chewed gum and swallowed it if you were a boy it would stick your stomach together and if you were a girl when you grew up and had a baby it would be born with gum in its hair

My mom didn't want me to choke on bubblegum when i was younger, so she always used to tell me that if i ate bubblegum while riding in the car, or talked with it in my mouth, it would automatically roll down my throat and would choke.

My 5 year old cousin thinks you can die if you chew too much gum for to long, so she chews half a peice for about 15 seconds, spits it on the ground. Chews the other half for 15 more seconds, spits that out than asks me for more, when i say no, she asks my other cousin, then my aunt....

that one girl

At school we all believed that if you swallowed chewing gum instead of spitting it out, every piece wedged in your lungs and eventually you could not breathe anymore. I never swallow gum, thirty years later!

My cousin used to tell me not to swallow my gum cause i had a bone in the middle of my chest and the gum would pile on top of and if i kept swallowing it, it would eventually come out my mouth and i would have to have surgery to get it removed. How horrible hun?!

my older bro told me that if i blew bubbles bigger than my head they would eat me because they got so big and that stoped me from evan trying to blow bubbles

i was weird

my brother and I used to think we could make bubblegum balls ourselves. We would roll chewed up saltines into balls, cover them with pepto bismol (pink and minty), and leave them in the refrigerator to harden. it didn't work.

I used to believe that when you swallowed gum. All of the gum you swallowed before would stay in your stomach and turn into a giant ball of gum. Eventually becoming too big, causing your stomach to burst.

When I was a kid, my grandmother told me that if I swallowed gum it would stick to my insides. From this I got the impression that my abdomen was hollow, sort of like the Tin Man's torso, and that when I swallowed gum it would stick to the inner walls, leaving them blotched like a gum-covered sidewalk. (And no, I don't remember what I thought happened to the food I ate.)

When I was little i used to swallow gum.I thought if you ever swallow gum again that the gum would get stuck in your throat and you couldn't breath ever again.Until now I'm still scared of swallowing gum.

When I was in pre-school, my friends and I would chew on the stuff in plant stems because an older kid told us it was "Indian chewing gum"
