    My parents used to tell me that it would get stuck in my intestines for a couple of years or that I would die, just so I would stop swallowing it, but I never did, ROFLMAO!

    I haven't swallowed gum since I was 3 when I ate 7 sticks of Juicy Fruit.

    i used to do a lot! But one day i got a very bad stomach ache and it was because of my swallowing my gum. Now I rarely eat gum.

    Nopes.

    Most of the gum they sell these days isn't worth swallowing anyway ;P

    my parents would tell me that it would get stuck in my stomach and then it would stay there for a long time.

    I don't swallow my gum anymore but I do when I get surprised or yawn. lol

    No.

    And I think it takes about 7 years for swallowed gum to digest. I'm not sure though.

    i almost always swallow my gum... my parents never told me swallowing gum was bad or anything, but my friends told me all those rumors that it sticks to your heart for seven years and all that other crap.. but then there was that mythbusters that said swallowing gum is no different than swallowing food, so i figured it was fine so why bother throwing it away?

  • i heard 5 years, then 7, then 10.

    but i don't believe them. ;)

    i only swallow my gum if there's no other place to put it.

    They told me that if I swallowed gum that it would get stuck on my intestines and I still believe that
