When I was little a close friend of the family told me never to swallow chewing gum because it would make my stomach stick together. I imagined that it would make me look really skinny with a waist only a few inches wide from the side view. That really scared me. I was embarrassingly old before I realized it wasn't true.

my grandma used to chew gum all the time... grandmas usually would have hard candy but mine had gum 24-7! i thought she chewed gum so much because it helped keep her fake teeth stay in her mouth...

OK!!! so when I swallowed my 1st peice of gum i was TERRIFIED because I thought it would come out the same way it was when i swallowed it like gushy and crap! i was scared. So then I thought that whenever you swallowed a peice of gum u would poop it out and it would be all gushy and chewed on. It was pretty nasty but then I asked my sister about it and she said no it stays in ur stomach for 7 years then I started to believe that.
NOW i dont know what 2 believe in anymore.
Bye PEACE OUT HOMIES!!! LOL!!!!! BYE [3

I dont believe this anymore =)

When i was younger i once swallowed chewing gum and didnt think much of it until i told my mum, she told to that because i had swallowed it, next time i would go to the toilet to do a number 2 i would blow bubbles out of my bottom! I was so upset and wanted her to get the chewy out of my stomich! It stoped me from having Chewing gum until i was alot older

When my cousin and I were about 5 and 7 years old, he told me not to swallow gum because it sticks to your heart if you do and you die. I was so scared to swallow my gum, from then on...until I got older.

when I was younger, my cousins gran told me that gum was made from horse-hair and I believed her, I always wondered why they didn't put it on the packet and used to look for it in the ingredients every time.

horse-hair muncher.

my cousins,ages 4 1/2 and 6,beleive that if you always chew gum,you don't have to eat,because chewing gum makes it impossible to be hungry or starve to death!

lol i wonder where they got that idea

gum-the new cure for world hunger

My Aunt told me that if i swallowed my gum i would have to be rushed to the hospital and would have to go through sergery so later that da i ran in my closet and swallowed me gum D8

I blowed a lot of gum . So my mom told to stop it but i went on,then she told me it will eat my whole face. i never blowed it until i was 11

please dont eat me

i used to believe when u eat gum, it sticks in your veigns, and the next food you eat would just pile up on the web of the gum !
but acctually thats impossible because inside of you its al wet and glidy, the gum just falls trough,

i believed that until i started to think logically

i used to believe that if u swallowed gum it would stay inside of u for about ten years then eventually u would digest it. i dont rememberhow old i was...maybe about 8 or so. heh.

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!

Bubble Burster!
