Here's a question for you lot...

When you've finished chewing gum do you spit it out or gulp it down. I've heard that it can be dangerous to swallow but anyone know why ?

I've heard in the far east they swallow, but most Europeans spit.

I dont think its the best idea in the world to swallow it but it does no damage as it just gets digested as normal.

Thats impressive.

HazyFleas,

Not yet .... back in in Blighty in March

If it's true that it doesn't digest then what happens to it ?
I mean to say; if you eat a lot of chewing gum then how long you going to take on the head ?

They say you are what you eat .....

It flows through your gut in the normal time scale, and is excreted pretty much unchanged.

I was never a great blower of bubbles in my youth, but I seem to recall that prehensile lips, and a tongue were necessary to the procedure. This does not describe the anatomy of my nether regions, obviously I cannot speak for yours.

If you want to get rid of gum , you can eat chocolate ..... bizarrely it will dissolve gum in your mouth.
