I'm sure everyone feels the same but when i was a kid, i always felt that if you swallowed the chewing gum then you would die because it clog up all your insides. Up to a few years a ago i honestly was scared of a wrigleys wrapper.

All my friends and I believed that if we swallowed bubble or chewing gum - it would wrap round our hearts and we would die - lovely thought!!!! We also had a teenage neighbour who had a hole in her heart and was told that it was because she had swallowed chewing gum when she was young!!!

At around 6, I used to believe that you'd die if you swallowed gum. And then I swallowed some... Wrote a will and put it under my pillow that night. Was well chuffed the next morning :)

When i was about 5 i used to believe that if you swallowed chewing gum, it would get stuck in your stomach and you would die. One day i accidentally swallowed a piece when i was at my friends house, and ran all the way home screaming i dont want to die. when i got home my mum told me that 1 piece would not kill me, and reminded me how often my sister swallowed gum.

Re: Swallowing gum. My Mum just said that it stuck your insides together and then you'd die because you couldn't eat anymore.

my mum used to tell me that if I was to swallow chewing gum, it would wrap around the insides of my stomach and I would choke.

I used to believe if you swallowed chewing gum it would strangle your guts and kill you!

I was told not to swallow chewing gum as it would get wrapped around my heart and kill me ... so I swallowed it deliberately!
