I attempt to spit it out but it gets stuck in my lower lip so then I try to pull it off with my hand but it gets stuck in my hand then I accedentally run my hand through my hair so it gets stuck there so I bring a scissor to cut it out but then it gets stuck in the scissor so I try to wash it in the washing machine but then it gets stuck in everything in there so I burn the house down and never look back.

Damn gums.

You probably shouldn't chew any more gum. For your own sake. New houses are expensive.

OT: I spit it out. I've heard it's unhealthy to swallow.

If you are dumb enough to chew gum, spit. This shit is made of petroleum now, didn't you know?

I always spit. Such a thing shouldn't even enter your digestive tract. Odd feeling let me tell ya.

swallow. its easier and cleaner for the environment. And i've always believed the whole 'its bad to swallow gum' to be a bit of an urban myth. I've swallowed gum for years and never had a problem.
*Shrugs*
The whole "it stays in you for 7 years" thing is total BS, but still, it's not something you can digest, and while normally it'll pass right through you, if it's a large amount of gum, or it gets stuck to something else undigestable (like sunflower seeds), it can block your digestive tract.

As for me, I spit. Not even particularly because of what I wrote above, I just don't like the feel of it.

I close to never chew gum. If I do, I only spit if there's a trashcan right next to me, otherwise I swallow.

I'm never going to be those complete assholes who stick their gum to the bottom of a desk or table.

I DO THE SMART THING. I spit it back into the wrapper if their is no nearby trashcan
Yeah this is what I do.

If I accidentally swallow a piece of gum or anything like a whole M&M or Malteser I completely freak out. Like, completely go nuts.

No sane adult and no aware child would possibly consider swallowing gum.

So the real question is, would you either: spit your gum out like a 1930's delinquent; stick your gum in some hidden place (eg under a table) like a young woman with self-esteem issues does with male genitalia; or do the responsible thing and dispose of it properly like a responsible and normally functioning member of society?

My disbelief that you would not include the latter aside, this can be applied to various other situations such as littering. Which one are you?

I always swallow it. Easier than finding a bin to get it into, plus that whole "it stays in your system for years" thing is total bullshit, so there's no harm in swallowing gum.

Does anyone actually know the implications of swallowing gum and what effect, if any, it has on the human body?

Personally I'd spit it out, not because it might be dangerous, but because it doesn't feel like food in my mouth. More like a flavored piece of rubber. Which is why (in my head) I'd put swallowing gum on par with eating an air freshener.

swallow I dunno why people think its unsafe to swallow the gum wouldn't be digested but it would still just come out in your poo just like corn does

I spit it, and if there are no available trash cans nearby...I spit it anyway
BAM. This guy gets it.

My mouth doesn't let me swollow gum, even if it was a life or death situation. Spit all the way.
