chewing gum

I used to believe that if you swallowed bubble gum, it would take seven or eight years for your body to digest it!

I was told that there was a kid down the street who would always swallow his chewing gum. Eventually he swallowed so much, and since gum doesn't get digested in your stomach, he had to be rushed to the emergency room one day to have his stomach pumped. I am still not sure if this is true or not but I don't swallow my chewing gum. If anyone can clue me in on this let me please know.

I was told when I was little that if you swallowed gum it would sit in your stomach for 7 years. I know a lot of other people have been told that too, but at the age of 23, I still believe it.

When my little brother was about 3, he asked my mother and myself for "pee buh buh" over and over. He even went as far as to put both of his hands to my mom's cheeks and slowly mouth the words. We kept asking him if he meant peanut butter. After about 10 minutes of this, we figured it out. He was asking for a piece of bubble gum.

I used to belive (after my mother warned me) that if you swallowed chewing gum, it would stick to your ribs.

When I was about 11years old, my science teacher told me that if you chewed gum it would give you stomach ulcers and I believed this for years afterwards. About a year ago a friend of mine (who happens to be a science teacher) offered me gum, when I told him about my belief, he said that I would have to chew gum for weeks, non-stop for it to cause an ulcer. However, although I now know the truth, I am still afraid to chew gum!

I was certain until a few years ago that accidentally swallowed gum would stay in your gut for precisely 7 years (to the second) and stick to other food so it would get really big and gross. Then, on the 7-year mark, you would poo out a seemingly endless string of stretchy, accumulated food. Nasty.

When i was little my mom always use to say that If i swallow gum that it gets stuck in my tummy, and then i will never be able to eat, so once when i chewing gum i swallowed it by accident so i started to cry, so my mom came in the living room and told me why are you crying so i said because i am never going to be able to eat all because i swallowed the gum so she started to laugh.

They still say today that swallowing chewing Gum makes it stay in you for seven years. If that was the case id be nothing but GUM!

I used to think that all the black spots on the sidewalk were pieces of gum that had been stepped on so many times that they got all dirty and turned black. Gross!

When I was younger my parents, my grandmother, and my teachers told me that if you swallowed your gum, it would stay there forever unless you had the doctor take it out.
