Do you place it on your tonsils, and heave it left and right?

Yes, but if my dog can pass a silver dollar, I think I can handle this one.

I thought it will pass through, but it takes several years.

My mommy told me gum sits in your tummy for 7 years.
Then I got all growed up and heard it's an old wives tale.
Who really knows though?

So is it also true that if you swallow a watermelon seed, you will get pregnant??? I thought I was having a baby elephant, cause when I look down, I can see his trunk coming out...

No, silly. If you swallow a watermelon seed, you will grow a watermelon tree in your tummy. Duh. Where did you come up with elephants?

Yes, because there is no other way to pick up peanuts than to become impregnated with an elephant. It makes perfect sense!

Fun Facts To Know And Tell:
Friday February 23, 2001 Previous | Next
Dear Yahoo!:
What happens if you swallow chewing gum?
Dustin
Carbondale, Illinois
Dear Dustin:
We started by typing three words into the Yahoo! search field: chewing, gum, and swallow. We weren't impressed with the site matches, so we focused on the web page matches.
We noticed a page from Ask Dr. Weil, a popular health and alternative medicine web site. Dr. Weil reassures us that the body will get rid of the gum in due time. However, he does point out that sugar-free gum, whether swallowed or chewed in large amounts, can cause digestive problems. The sugar substitutes (hexitol, sorbitol, and mannitol, to name a few) found in sugar-free gum are not absorbed, but pass into the small intestine and colon, where they can cause diarrhea.
We wanted a second opinion, so we headed over to the Loyola University Health System, where a newsletter focusing on health myths addressed the topic of swallowing chewing gum. In their opinion, it's not the healthiest thing you can do, but if you do swallow your gum, it will simply pass through your system undigested into your stool (much like fiber).
The consensus seems that it's best to toss your chewed-out gum in the trash, but if you do happen to swallow a piece, don't worry -- it won't sit in your tummy for seven years.
