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....

that one girl

my next door neighbour told me that if i swallowed my chewing gum i would blow bubbles out of my bum...that was right after id swallowed the gum!

I used to believe that the little plastic size tags you got on hangers in clothes shops were chewing gum!

At school we all believed that if you swallowed chewing gum instead of spitting it out, every piece wedged in your lungs and eventually you could not breathe anymore. I never swallow gum, thirty years later!

When I was little, I sometimes swallowed the chewing gum accidentally. When I told my mother about this, she said my intestine would be stuck into a mess. What my mother said often made me worried for a few days.

When I was a kid, I swallowed a gum ball, and my mom told me not to worry because it would come out in my poop. For days I checked my poop, expecting it to come out whole, and worrying that it was still inside when it didn't.

my older bro told me that if i blew bubbles bigger than my head they would eat me because they got so big and that stoped me from evan trying to blow bubbles

i was weird

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

Lisa

Lulu

When I was little i used to swallow gum.I thought if you ever swallow gum again that the gum would get stuck in your throat and you couldn't breath ever again.Until now I'm still scared of swallowing gum.

My cousin used to tell me not to swallow my gum cause i had a bone in the middle of my chest and the gum would pile on top of and if i kept swallowing it, it would eventually come out my mouth and i would have to have surgery to get it removed. How horrible hun?!

April

I was scared to death about swallowing my chewing gum since I thought it would turn into a seed in my stomach and eventually a huge tree would grow out my mouth and I wouldn't be able to close my mouth.

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.

When I was in pre-school, my friends and I would chew on the stuff in plant stems because an older kid told us it was "Indian chewing gum"

i used to think if you swallowed bubble gum it would take 5 years to digest and it would get burnt by the acid in your body.

josh

i used to thhink iit took 7 years 4 gum to digest then it would come out the same ways when you swaalowed it

-_- ....... akward

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.

my older sister told me that if you accidentally swallowed chewing gum it wandered around inside you and could get tangled all round your ribs and suffocate you. I still don't chew gum!
