i used to chew gum then spit it

i've since stopped chewing gum and have switched to mints :>
 
sometimes I swallow it when I'm not near a trash can to spit it out and it makes me feel like I'm livin on the edge. I had the swallow it and it'll stay in your system for seven years thing ingrained in me as a kid so it still feels weird to do so though
 
I don't typically chew gum, but I usually swallow. If I'm near a trashcan and have a napkin or something on hand, then sure, I'll spit. But swallowing is far more convenient, and I don't have to worry about curious little animals ingesting it or getting sticky. 😬
 
I don't chew gum often, but I always spit it out when I do. I have accidentally swallowed gum before, and I found it to be quite unpleasant
 
i'm not a fan of gum precisely because i do not like swallowing it. yes there are no health risks but also it's just.... idk. ick?? i spit it out but its such a hassle to find where to throw it (esp if ur in the middle of class or sumn) so i just don't bother w gum at all anymore.
 
I spit it out. I don't spit it out on the ground though. Usually in a tissue or a trash can. I've swallowed gum a handful of times and I don't like little remnants sticking to my throat. Especially if it's the type of gum that turns almost powdery when you chew it for too long....ugh

I technically shouldn't be chewing gum anymore since the dentist screwed my jaw up. I live on the edge.
 
I used to swallow gum like an idiot when i was a kid lmao, but i quit thankfully haha and now i dont eat gum at all
 
I always spit it out and throw it away isn’t it the thing that it stays inside your stomach for 5 years cause it takes forever to digest.
 
I'm not a gum chewer. I think it feels weird to have your mouth move around like your eating for hours.
 
i only really have chewing gum to stop my brain from imploding on an airplane, but i always spit it back out!

....this IS about gum right?
 
neither since I don't use gum. Sometimes I have chewy candies, but I swallow them because... they're candy
 
i spit it out, although i think i've swallowed it probably less than a handful of times?
 
I don't really like gum, but when I do have it I spit it out into a tissue and put it in the bin
 
I generally don't chew gum because it irritates my jaw. When I do I always make sure to throw it away though. I know it's not true but hearing that "it stays in your stomach for seven years" as a child still sticks with me, lol.
 
I don't eat gum, the dentist forbade it. My teeth are not always aligned right and I have problems with my jaws as well...so no it's not even appealing but I wouldn't shallow it.
