8. If that were the case I'd have a 40 inch waistline from gum alone. nt

11. One would think the acid in your stomach would break it down

but I really don't know. Personally I don't swallow it, just because the times I've accidentally done it, I worried that it would get stuck in my throat

13. Not true

Merely an urban legend.

[formerrepuke]

16. It just passes right through- looking exactly the same.

[TimeChaser]

20. Why?

Have you checked? :evilgrin:

[formerrepuke]

23. Haven't made any observations; but the material it's made out

of is not digestible- so (according to an old H.S. science teacher) it just passes through, looking the same as it did when it was chewed last. Probably, the taste has changed somewhat, though.

[Deja Q]

25. Just like corn!

:puke:

[Saphire]

26. it does.....unfortunatly having small kids, I have made the observation.

[MissMillie]
