[Ry]

Gum is not all I swallow

We have something in common ;)



I swallowed chewing gum earlier, come to think of it.

[RedStratocas]

No, its not true, it takes longer than normal though. Acids can always break it down. If you can chew it, it can be digested pretty much.

[:Hazel]

I used to be so scared of swalling chewing gum when I was younger, I thought I'd die or something.

Urban legend.

[Josh-H]

I think it just takes longer than normal stuff like meat/veg. Doesnt take 8 years though lol.

[Kymux]

no it wraps round your heart and you die.

[Herman]

I was told that if you shallow it, it will get stuck somewhere in your system, and could kill you. I dunno.

It'll stick your *** together and all the waste will build up untill you explode.
It has the same effect as bluetack.

[Twinkie]

I spit out my gum after I'm done with it. I never swallow it. That's quite revolting and will probably create a sticky situation when you're doing #2 in the bathroom.

[Seacat]

lol when I was a kid I used to get told that if I swallowed 12 pieces a year I'd die :(

[Casanova]

Gum is not all I swallow

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOO!
erm yeah i swallow it occasionally, and it's 4 years btw?

[Lubricant]

It isn't true. It takes neally the same amount of time to digest as other food. I was watching the news the other month and it was talking about chewing gum stuck on pavements and roads and they were talking about ways to dispose of chewing gum. They didn't say swallowing it was a great choice but the 8 years to digest is completely false.

[Myzas]

It digests the same as any normal food, Saw it on brainiac ;]

[Pompous-User]

No, It isn't true because chewing gum contains a trace of laxative. If you swallow it, It will digest quickly and exit your anus faster than you can say 'ow'

[Recursion]

It isn't true "/ - Its just to stop you swallowing it to stop the risk of choking, As it is very easy to choke on Gum :P
