When I was little, my mom would tell us that chewing gum helped with car-sickness, just to shut us up in the car and such. It was only in my early twenties that I found out it was all a lie. What gets me is that to this day, whenever I feel carsick, my first thought is to get some gum!
i used to believe some even say i still do but they don't know do they!! that if i chewed chewing gum for a hard core 162 days i'd actually turn into a hubba bubba! i know tell me about it life on the shelves in the corner shop sure is strenuous.
When i was little i thought that if you were drinking and chewing gum at the same time you would swallow your gum and die

I used to believe that gum was made outta pig fat becuase of what my dad told me. I believed him for years.
My mum told me that if I swallowed my chewing gum, the gum would stick to my internal organs and I'd have to go for an operation to get the chewing gum out of me.
My brother once told me that if you planted a peice of gum that you hadn't chewed yet and you didnt take the wrapper off would grow into a money tree. I think that later he snuck outside and nabbed the piece of gum.
When I was little, I was a REALLY good bubble blower. But one day my brother told me the bubble would get so big that it would pop around my face and I would suffocate. Still to this day, I don't blow bubbles, and if I see somone else blowing one, even a really tiny one, I cringe and cover my face. And I'm 23 in two months!!!

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.
my dad told me a long time ago that if i swallowed gum it would go into my lungs and keep me from breathing! of coarse i have no clue why he told me a story to make me not want to swallow gum but it sure worked for a couple of years. by the way if u push your nose while you swallow gum it helps you swallow =) thats a fact!
Because it's awkward to do in public (yes, people can and do give you dirty looks for this), I prefer to swallow gum instead of spitting it in a trash can. This started at a young age.
My parents told me if I continued to swallow the gum, it would "gum up" my insides and my body would stop functioning properly.

For some reason, I didn't care enough about this to stop swallowing my gum.
When I was two years old, I ate chewing gum thinking that it was candy. When I was six, I was told that if you swallowed chewing gum, it would stay in your stomach for seven years. I actually believed that!

when i was young i used to think when u would buy suger-free chewing gum you got suger free with the chewing gum
When I was very young, around 5 or 6 yrs. old, I remember my mother telling me that if you swallowed your chewing gum, it would stick to your appendix and you'd have to have surgery. I guess I stuck that in the back of my mind and never thought much about it until I was about 20, right after I'd gotten married. I accidentally swallowed my gum, while doing housework. All of a sudden I remembered what my mother had told me. I always trusted my mother. Go figure.
when i was a little girl and i would by mistake swallow my gum. well i would cry to my mom, and she told me to lay down and close my eyes. wile i closed my eyes she would take the gum out of HER mouth and "pull" it out of my belly button and say "see mommy has her magic she fixed its all better" and i was so happy!!!
When I was about 5 and started chewing gum, and sometime I accidentally swallowed it, I used to believe there were 2 rods inside my stomach to wind up the swallowed gum: one for the pink gum and another for the white gum (there wasn't all sorts of gum colours back them. The gum would be rolled up around the rods as cord. It's terribly stupid, I know. I was 5, see.
