food: chewing gum

when I was younger, my cousins gran told me that gum was made from horse-hair and I believed her, I always wondered why they didn't put it on the packet and used to look for it in the ingredients every time.

my cousins,ages 4 1/2 and 6,beleive that if you always chew gum,you don't have to eat,because chewing gum makes it impossible to be hungry or starve to death!

lol i wonder where they got that idea

My Aunt told me that if i swallowed my gum i would have to be rushed to the hospital and would have to go through sergery so later that da i ran in my closet and swallowed me gum D8

HOW STUPID WAS I :) :) :)

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 !
but acctually thats impossible because inside of you its al wet and glidy, the gum just falls trough,

i believed that until i started to think logically

i used to believe that if u swallowed gum it would stay inside of u for about ten years then eventually u would digest it. i dont rememberhow old i was...maybe about 8 or so. heh.

When I was little, one of my older brother's friends told me that if you swallow gum it will give you diharria! So I went around telling everyone not to swallow their gum. I still kinda believe that too!

I thought that when I swallowed gum, it would eventually grow into a large ball of gum on the inside of my belly button, and that I would need surgery to get it removed. I wasn't told that would happen either, some imagination. I'm only 13 years old, just so you don't think I'm some 30 year old believing that would happen. xD

This is something I made someone else belive:
I made my little brother bellieve that grass was gum! It was so funny! I told him it would taste better after a while and that is was 'cool' It was funny until my mom found out, my dad laughed, but they both grounded me.

When i was like 6 or 7, i had a cousin that was 3 years older that me. She ALWAYS swallowed her gum, and of course, i wanted to be JUSt like her. she told me not to because you would explode and the doctors would have to take out your belly so you couldnt eat any more. i loved sandwiches and still wanted to eat them so i stopped swallowing gum. 6 Months later she had surgery and they removed this thing bc she swallowed TOO MUCH GUM!she took it in a jar and told me she couldnt eat anymore so i started crying cuz i felt bad. heehee...hipacrit!

i used to believe it took 7 years to digest gum

I used to believe that when I swallowed my gum,it would take seven years to dissolve in my stomach!! But I wouldn't believe it IF my uncle didn't tell me-He even promised that it was true!!!

I use to think that if you swallowed your gum
that it would stay in your tummy forever
so I aways pictured my gum as a tree sump that you sat on
and deers and rabbits and trees were in my tummy.
It looked like something out of Bambi.

When I was a little girl, my soon-to-be stepmother would tell me that if I swallowed my gum, a big gum tree would grow in my belly and it would take 7 years to come out.

My granny always used to tell me that if I swallowed my gum everytime, it would get stuck and the doctors would have to operate on me.

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.

When I was 8 years old I use to chew bubble gum and swallow it because I didn't know where it would go. Then my teacher took me that swallowing gum will stay in my stomach and know I 'm 9 years old and I'm spliting out my chew gum in the trash. And for my teacher thank God we have internet.
