food: chewing gum

I used to believe that when chewing gum lost its taste it wasn't sticky. I stuck some flavourless chewing gum in my hair and it stuck. I hid it from my mum because I knew she would freak out. After 2 weeks she noticed and I had to have a huge chunk of my hair cut out.

One of my uncles told me that fat people got that way by swallowing watermelon seeds. So every time I swallowed one I was terrified. Another uncle (yeah, great ones I have) told me that you got fat by swallowing gum, because it would blow into a bubble in your stomach. Needless to say, I was very careful when I chewed gum.

I used to have the hardest time with the concept of 'Sugar Free' chewing gum. I wasn't sure whether it meant you got free sugar with the gum, or if it was just extra sweet.

My friend went to this camp called 'Sugar Free Kids'. I had an especially hard time with that one.

As a child I would swallow my bubble gum when I was through chewing it. I didn't see the harm in it until my Grandmother caught me one day. She began to explain that if I were to swallow my gum that watermelons could possibly grow in my stomach. That was the last time I ever swallowed gum again. And, no, I never did grow any watermelons.

Remember how your parents told you that if you fell asleep with gum in your mouth, you would wake up and it would be in your hair? Well I used to believe that this occurred through a process of the gum seeping through the head and then coming out of your hair folicles. So, one night I fell asleep with gum in my mouth. I woke up at some time that night and became afraid that the gum would seep through my head and get in my hair, so I took it out and set it on my pillow. Needless to say, I woke up in the morning with gum in my hair.

my sister once told me that my eyeballs expelled air, so if i were to chew up some bubblegum and place it over my eye and blink a whole bunch, i could blow a bubble. i thought that would be the coolest thing ever so i tried it... needless to say, i had gum stuck in my eyelashes, and eyebrows for days... i will never forgive her for that...

one day i was chewwing gum before i went to bed and i almost ended up falling asleep so my dad came in and said hey i wouldnt chew that gum when you are slepping i asked why and he said that a little boy went to sleep and the gum grew and ate him. So ever since i never chewed gum at night.

I used to swallow my gum so one day my dad told me that when I swallow it, it would get stuck with all the other gum and form into a ball and stick to my organs and then the docors would have to surgically remove it. I still swallowed my gum anyway.. and still do!

When I was little, my mom would tell me that if I swallowed chewing gum, my stomach would stick together.

if you chewed chewing gum are your teeth will rote and fall out

I used to belive that if you swalled

i used to beleive that if you chewed gum it woul give you warts in your mouth my sister told me this

I am a big fan of chewing gum!!!when I was 4 or 5 I used to think that we can grow & plant chewing gum so I took 2 pieces & dig a small hole in the garden & buried them & used to water my future chewing gum tree everyday till I gave up & told myself it's much better & easier to buy chewing gum than to try to grow it :-) ?!!

I used to believe that chewing gum stayed in your stomach for seven years. At thirteen I decided I needed to loose weight and started swallowing gum to fill up my stomach so I'd feel full all the time and wouldnt want to eat food.

i always thought that if you swalled chewing gum you would turn into it.

I remember I was like only 4 and my 2 teenage aunts were twin sisters and were always chewing gum and i wanted it and they didn't let me and sed "gum is 4 girls" and one time i was at a barber shop with my dad and the barber asked me if i wanted sum gum and i said "no!! gum is for girls" and years l8r i was old enuf 4 gum
