When I was a child, I used to chew a lot of gum. When my mother would
tell me to get rid of it, I would swallow it. That upset her very much so she
told me that if I kept swallowing my gum, it would all end up in my
appendix and it would eventually explode. (Which it did, but obviously not
from the gum - I think.)

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.

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 !

I used to think that gum stuck to your heart for seven years if you swallowed it. It didn't bother me...I kept on swallowing!

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.

I was told that there was a kid down the street who would always swallow his chewing gum. Eventually he swallowed so much, and since gum doesn't get digested in your stomach, he had to be rushed to the emergency room one day to have his stomach pumped. I am still not sure if this is true or not but I don't swallow my chewing gum. If anyone can clue me in on this let me please know.

I used to believe that chewing gum was bad for you because my Grandad told me that it was made out of the soles of Indians' bare feet!

I was told when I was little that if you swallowed gum it would sit in your stomach for 7 years. I know a lot of other people have been told that too, but at the age of 23, I still believe it.
