A childhood belief about chewing gum

I was certain until a few years ago that accidentally swallowed gum would stay in your gut for precisely 7 years (to the second) and stick to other food so it would get really big and gross. Then, on the 7-year mark, you would poo out a seemingly endless string of stretchy, accumulated food. Nasty.
