i didn't taste gum till i was 7 and my brother till he was 10 (we're 3 yrs apart). so when my dad brought us some gum after work one day, my brother and i were AMAZED. "what is this new type of candy??" "it's amazing" .we would stick it on walls and on doors.
AMAZING

When I swallowed gum I imagined it sticking to the inside walls of me, specifically in my arms, and thinking that there was plenty of room if I accidentally swallowed more gum.

When I was a kid I used to chew gum all the time. My mum used to tell me that if you swallowed it, it would get wrapped around your ribs and get stuck in your chest. Quite a troubling image and i still get nervous if i cough with gum in my mouth

When I was about 8, my mom joked to me that if you swallowed chewing gum it'd gum up your guts.
I spent weeks terrified of swallowing chewing gum and that I'd die. One day I fell of my bike and swallowed some by accident. I ran back home, crying like crazy. My mom asked me what was wrong, and started laughing when I explained that it wasn't the fall, but the "chewing gum thing". They still rib me about that.

My 5 year old cousin thinks you can die if you chew too much gum for to long, so she chews half a peice for about 15 seconds, spits it on the ground. Chews the other half for 15 more seconds, spits that out than asks me for more, when i say no, she asks my other cousin, then my aunt....

My mom didn't want me to choke on bubblegum when i was younger, so she always used to tell me that if i ate bubblegum while riding in the car, or talked with it in my mouth, it would automatically roll down my throat and would choke.

I believed chewing gum was made out of the eyes of deer.

Starburst candy used to air commercials where they would show a person popping a candy into their mouth, and then the camera would switch to showing that person riding an exhilarating roller coaster ride, or sailing off the top of a mountain on a hang-glider. I guess this was to show how exciting the taste of Starburst candy was.

Except I took the commercials literally and thought that if I ate a Starburst candy, that I would instantly get shot off a cliff or sent flying around in a crazy (scary!) roller coaster. I held this fear until I was about 7!

Once when my mom was at the dentist and there was this guy with HORIBLE teeth, and he was sitting next to me when i was chewing my gum, and he told me that gum was made from a cats toung, and i believed and spit it out right that second, and when we were leaving i told my mom what he had said and she said it was true, i was devestated! lol

...~~~!1!YOU~~~~!!!

They still say today that swallowing chewing Gum makes it stay in you for seven years. If that was the case id be nothing but GUM!

I used to think if you chewed gum while using the toilet it would come out your butt. I would always spit out gum before sitting down.

Liz

i was told if you chewed gum and swallowed it if you were a boy it would stick your stomach together and if you were a girl when you grew up and had a baby it would be born with gum in its hair

my brother and I used to think we could make bubblegum balls ourselves. We would roll chewed up saltines into balls, cover them with pepto bismol (pink and minty), and leave them in the refrigerator to harden. it didn't work.

I used to belive that if you swalloed gum you would grow a watermelon inside of you but now i know it is not true.

My dad once told me that if everyone threw their gum out of their car windows, the city wouldn't have to fill all the pot holes. I was 12 before I realized he was joking. Unfortunately, I throw like a girl (because I am) and hit the car next to us instead of the street. That took some 'splanin.

When I was younger my parents, my grandmother, and my teachers told me that if you swallowed your gum, it would stay there forever unless you had the doctor take it out.
