It ain't. A lot of people say it is, but it isn't - it's proven. The Digestive system can handle a LOT of things, and a little gum is no problem. ^^

I swallow most of the time, because I'm too lazy to go to the trash can... ^^

Interestingly enough, the Russian law of opposites just kinda jumped in here. I was surprised myself, but hey, turns out the russians are just SO upside down, that you don't even need to be in Russia for their laws to take effect anymore...

swallowing gum isn't exactly the healthiest thing for your digestive system.
Mayoclinic (it's pretty reliable, right?)

It says it's only bad if done in excess.
Also: The title is supposed to be suggestive.
Nah, I heard that Mayo Clinic is just a troll website.

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with swallowing you gum, unless you're swallowing like a pack a day. Then it's almost as bad as cigarettes.

Nope, if you play the misleading title game, I'm going to answer the question the way I see fit.

I have never performed fellatio on a male, nor do I intend too. But if I did, I would spit, because I don't think Semen appeals to me. If I had to swallow, I wouldn't be too bummed because I hear that it is good for your digestive track.

Don't make misleading titles. That is my number one internet Pet Peeve.

I saw the title and came in here expecting to have to kick some ass. Touché! xD

I always spit the gum, since I've heard swallowing it can be really dangerous. :0 but hey, if you haven't keeled over yet, maybe it's just a myth?

Usually I spit. Or just chew until it completely disintegrates.

Heh, I see what you did there...
I chew it until my jaws hurt. Then I chew it some more until I find a garbage can or a suitable patch of dirt.

This thread title was misleading and gave me a good chuckle. Back on topic I usually spit since I have a hard time swallowing gum.

And this thread wins the most suggestive title award!

OT: Spit, unless I'm in a formal event where there are no trash bins for whatever reason...

I actually came into this Thread with the simple thought of "Oh God no". Then i read the first Post, which caused me to facepalm.

Also for the record, Replace the G in Gum with a C and you have massive Profit on talking in code so the Mods dont banhammer our Butts for posting in this Thread.

That being said, i spit the Gum out, especially when they get all weird and fuzzy when you chew them too long.

(Replace the letters and enjoy the horrible mental image, you're welcome.)

As a kid, I got this idea in my head: "Gum is sticky. If I try to swallow it, it will stick in my throat and I will choke and die."

I don't know where the idea came from, and as far as I remember I came up with it on my own. Strangely, even when the complete irrational nature of the idea was brought to light when I saw one of my peers swallow his gum and not choke, I still couldn't kick the idea.

Even more strangely, this idea has followed me into my adulthood, so now I'm a 26-year-old man who has a notable psychological block against swallowing gum. I've swallowed it on accident a few times but as far as I can remember I've only managed intentionally swallow it once...and that took a significant amount of willpower.

So, long story short, I spit out my gum when I'm done with it.

I was tricked! Misleading thread title win. I couldn't wait to see what someone had posted and the comments following.

I take my used gum and roll it up in the wrapper in came in, or, a strip of napkin - then I throw it away.
