I think this stemmed from the belief that when you swallow watermelon seeds you would grow a water melon in your stomach (which of course some evil grown up told me). Somehow I applied this theory to gum, but it was obvious that it wouldn't grow in my stomach..that would just be stupid! So instead I picked a perfect spot to plant my gum. Everyday I went out to water it waiting for it to sprout. I soon moved from that place but didn't give up on my tree. Iwould beg my mom to drive by even years later to see if my gum tree had grown. I really thought I was onto something...I mean imagine how much money you would save if you grew your own gum

i thought that those dried big glob of glue inside food wrappers were gum. i always peal them off and start chewing and wondered why they couldn't put a better taste there.

When I was little, my mom told me that if I swallowed gum, then a gum tree would grow in my stomache and it would make my stomache explode.

As a child I was told that If I swallowed chewing gum it would wrap around my umbilical cord and destroy any chances of me having a child. I was also told that If I did get pregnant that the baby would come out with different colors of bubble gum stuck to it's head.

I used to believe that if you swallowed chewing gum it would stay in your stomach for 7 years, because chewing gum is impossible to digest. I still don't know whether or not this is ture.
My girlfriend believed someone who told her that chewing gum was made from dogs bones!

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!

My mother would get us to spit out our gum before we went to bed at night by telling us if we insisted on chewing our gum in bed, it would turn into skeleton bones in our sleep! We all believed this and promptly spit it out!

my grandparents always told me if i ever swallow bubble gums, they will stick to my small intestines and make them all tangled up and stop functioning. i never dared to try but i did swallow one on accident. and i spent an hour trying to puke out the gum and when that didn't work, i was crying like a fool.
my cousin once told me that bubblegum was actually elephant snot and that's why you can't swallow it. it was a long time before i ate bubblegum ever again.

I use to believe that the belief of ending up with gum in your hair if you wnet to sleep with gum in your mouth was not because it might fall out of your mouth onto your pillow, but that it would somehow absorb through the roof of your mouth through your head and into your hair.
