I hate it when people say swallowing gum "stays in your digestive tract for [insert number of years here]." It's food. It passes out your pooper like anything else. If gum clogs up your digestive tract, I'd have been dead a long time ago.

+10 points for hilarious thread title however

I thought swallowing gum is dangerous...
It is not. It, like everything else, will pass through your tract no problem.

That said, I spit. My body won't let me swallow it unless I rip the wad I'm chewing into pieces

I hear if you swallow too much cum you have to get your stomach pumped, oops I meant to press the G key not the C. How embarrassing. (If this post is TOO suggestive, mods can change it.)

Real men swallow.

Wait, what?
...I think I love you. XD

Ahem. Right. On topic, then. I spit my gum out. Isn't gum supposed to be bad for you if you swallow it?
The urban myth is that it stays in your system for seven years, and yes it would take awhile for your stomach acids to eat away at it, maybe even that long...IF your body didn't pass it like it passes everything else.

So your golden either way!

Supposedly swallowing gum is harmless in most situations.

I don't chew gum, so it's not a conundrum I heave to deal with.

Hurr...that merited an honest giggle from me, my friend.

I all honesty, if there's a trash can nearby I hang a few feet away from it to see if I can make it in, otherwise, I just put it back into the wrapper.

Trash, the toilet, ashtray. If theres nothing I'll try to spit it where no one will step on it. Least I'm courteous enough in my disregard for littering laws.

I've seen this thread before...
Yeah....in Yahoo! Answers maybe, where trolls make these kinds of titles on purpose.

OT: Spit, even if it's remotely harmful to swallow, why would you do that anyhow. Just don't put it in some crappy place where some poor bastard might touch/step/sit on it.
