This was nudged up from a long way back! Ann Glos

.........................Never thought of that, Kris

i told my children that if they swollowed chewing gum it will block their bums up and they wont be able to go to the loo lol well to my knowledge they never swolled it lol by the way i spit lol not really i put it in tissue and put it in the bin :-) coz i know how hard it is to get the stuff of things Rosex

it's my pet hate, the amount of gum you see just spat out on the street, discusting. Please dispose of it in a bin, or wrap and take home in your pocket. As for suggestive title, carry on I say, gets your threads read, if they attract attention. Joy

Me too Maggie - Could never consent to a lung transplant - the very thought of coughing up someone else's phlegm..............

Yes, very suggestive, Like Wulliam, I thought it would be about phlegm. Yuk!! maggie

Good thread - very valid but could be deemed a suggestive title

It's one of those things in life that are in pairs. Black or White Large or Small In or Out Knickers or Thong Rough or Smooth Men or Boys Women or Girls Yes or No There must be loads more !!! Malcolm.

Brian what if you don't have an appendix???

Forget the chewing gum...what about phlegm?!! W.

Mi ole nan alwaiys sed it wood wind ar ound me heart........ Bob

I've always swallowed gum (not that I use it that often)....never had any ill effects! Your stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve it. Dee x

actually, I never minded mine chewing it, especially the sugar free variety after meals. They are aged 18to 34, and not one of them has ever had a filling or extractionso I assume gum chewing may have been beneficial.

You dont watch carry on films all day by any chance do you Claire?

Would not even consider putting it in my mouth. Cannot see the point at all. Clare.xx PS> Julie behave yourself ... what kind of girl do you think I am ?

Stick it behind your collar or under the table like we older ones used to. Seriously, wouldn,t even consider swallowing it, although I have done it accidentally when younger, apparently without harm. Happy days

Clair good thread lol Can you have a sick bag handy and despose of neatly. lmao

its only when they chew with mouth open or like a cow chewing grass that i have a problem

Horrible stuff ! I was never allowed it and neither are my children...........Hate to see people chewing in public !! Ugh !

as children we were told not to swallow it,but I believe it has different ingredients now.Old habits die hard, I always keep the silver paper in my pocket and spit it (very ladylike of course) into that.
