If you swallow chewing gum you will die

When I was a child I liked chewing gun but I started to believe that: If I smallow the chewing gun it would stick in my intestine and I would die.

I used to believe that if you swallowed your gum, you would go to hell. I rarely chewed gum until about the 7th grade.

when i was young my neighbors informed me if you swallowed gum, it was stuck in your *lungs* for the rest of your life, which i believed for some time

When I was small, I thought if you swallowed gum it just fell down and stuck to one of your lungs. I was not the brightest when it came to the inside of humans' bodies.

I grew out of this belief at age 8.

My mum explained to me that it wasn't healthy to swallow chewing gum.When I understood that I should never swallow it,ever,I became terrified that it would turn into a gum monster in my tummy.
Hehe,I don't swallow it now...

When i was younger I was told that if you swallowed chewing gum that it would wrap aroung your wind pipe and choke you. I know its not true but even now at 31 im actually chewing gum as i write this article, i cant swallow the gum.

I was told that if I keep swallowing my gum the gum will wrap around my belly button and I will die. So far as an adult I have not swallowed any gum and I am still living. Maybe I will try that on my son.

When I was younger I would always chew my gum and swallow it. My aunt told me that there was this thing in my throat and when I swallowed my gum it would get stuck there. She also sayed that it stayed there for 7 years. I really thought that every time i swallowed gum it was there for 7 years and it just kept building up and i would die cause all my food would not go down my throat.

When I was younger I had a terrible habit of swallowing my gum. one day my mom said that when you swallow gum it just stays in your stomach and that eventually you'd get very sick and couldn't poop anymore. to this day I never swallow my gum!

One day, I was chewing gum, (I love to do that, especially mint-flavored) and I swallowed it. I went to my Mom and told her that. She said that I shouldn't do that, so I started to believe when I was little that if you chewed gum and swallowed, it would clog up and stop you from breathing. I only stopped this belief lately, when I took my 5th grade SAT and swallowed gum all through the week.
