This.

The thread tittle has all kinds of misleading implications......
I know right? I thought he was talking about toothpaste.

Of course I swallow my toothpaste. Just like everyone else. Right? Right??

Ahem. Right. On topic, then. I spit my gum out. Isn't gum supposed to be bad for you if you swallow it?

Spit. The last time I swallowed gum I damn near choked to death.

Better safe than sorry.

I never chew gum, but when I do I chew Dos Equis I can't swallow it. It's like swallowing a coin or something...

I pretty much always end up swallowing it. I've been reassured that you simply digest it like everything else. Mostly, I just don't care, though.

When I was a kid I swallowed my gum but now I just combine it with more and more pieces of gum until my pack is empty. Once that happens and all the flavor is gone I spit it out.

I spit on your grave...

Actually what I do is tilt my head forward with my mouth wide open, then gravity does the rest.

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

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.)

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!
