I thought that when I swallowed gum, it would eventually grow into a large ball of gum on the inside of my belly button, and that I would need surgery to get it removed. I wasn't told that would happen either, some imagination. I'm only 13 years old, just so you don't think I'm some 30 year old believing that would happen. xD

This is something I made someone else belive:
I made my little brother bellieve that grass was gum! It was so funny! I told him it would taste better after a while and that is was 'cool' It was funny until my mom found out, my dad laughed, but they both grounded me.

When i was like 6 or 7, i had a cousin that was 3 years older that me. She ALWAYS swallowed her gum, and of course, i wanted to be JUSt like her. she told me not to because you would explode and the doctors would have to take out your belly so you couldnt eat any more. i loved sandwiches and still wanted to eat them so i stopped swallowing gum. 6 Months later she had surgery and they removed this thing bc she swallowed TOO MUCH GUM!she took it in a jar and told me she couldnt eat anymore so i started crying cuz i felt bad. heehee...hipacrit!

I used to believe that when I swallowed my gum,it would take seven years to dissolve in my stomach!! But I wouldn't believe it IF my uncle didn't tell me-He even promised that it was true!!!

I use to think that if you swallowed your gum
that it would stay in your tummy forever
so I aways pictured my gum as a tree sump that you sat on
and deers and rabbits and trees were in my tummy.
It looked like something out of Bambi.

When I was a little girl, my soon-to-be stepmother would tell me that if I swallowed my gum, a big gum tree would grow in my belly and it would take 7 years to come out.

My granny always used to tell me that if I swallowed my gum everytime, it would get stuck and the doctors would have to operate on me.

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 8 years old I use to chew bubble gum and swallow it because I didn't know where it would go. Then my teacher took me that swallowing gum will stay in my stomach and know I 'm 9 years old and I'm spliting out my chew gum in the trash. And for my teacher thank God we have internet.

I used to think that when you chewed gum you chewed GUN! Boy, I couldn't believe they'd sell guns to minors. lol

When I was little, my sister used to tell me not to swallow my gum because it would make my guts stick together.

When I was little i thought that if you ate too much gum it would all gather in your butt-hole, and the only way out was to have a doctor squirt orange juice (like from oranges) up your butt, through a tury baster.

I had been always swallowing gum when it was bad for me and now I've stopped. This is because one time when after chewing gum. I was asked what happened to it. I said that I chewed on it and let it down my throat. My brother replied that swallowing gum is bad for me. I kept telling him I didn't swallow it. But he kept trying to correct me. This was because I thought to 'swallow' meant to eat with just a few bites when it had actually meant to put from inside your mouth to your throat.

When I was about 5 years old, I had chewing gum for the first time, and I was told I couldn't swallow it. However, I ended up swallowing it anyway, and concluded that I was the only person who could swallow gum and that I was smarter than everyone else, because they couldn't swallow gum.
A couple of years later, my brother told me that if you swallow chewing gum, it stayed in your stomach for seven years, and I believed him. I was then terrified of swallowing gum, and I counted how many years it would take before the gum I'd previously swallowed would come out...

That if you wet a sweet wrap and put it in the freezer overnight, you'd get chewing gum.
