Gum Isn’t Invincible

Swallowed gum will stay in your stomach for seven years. Never seen a single wad of gum in the hundreds of thousands of stomachs I’ve looked into.

My schools hated bubblegum as if it was crack. One day in middle school, a girl was chewing gum, and the teacher saw her and stopped the whole lesson and made a huge scene about the girl chewing gum and was telling her to spit it out, but the girl swallowed it, and the teacher continued to ridicule the girl about swallowing gum and was yelling that the gum would be in her stomach for seven years and I’ll never forget how unnecessary the drama was that day.
