Imagine if the food you eat touches the gum http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsMhFYUfuRqSQc7E_U07VpIjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20081230201432AAwcY0e

It's practically IMPOSSIBLE for gum to digest in 7 years. If it did take 7 years, it would either be stuck to the wall of the stomach, or block the intestine, in either case, it would be highly improbable; especially for 7 years. It usually takes 2-3 days for gum pass into feces, UNDIGESTED.

Even if it didn't digest, it's coming out anyways. Look at corn.

holyzhix : You never know! What? Explain to me how it would be scientifically possible for something the size of a penny would remain in the stomach for 7 years?

I swallowed like a full bubble tape >_< (the 6 foot bubble gum) and woke up at 3a.m and let us say the rest wasn't pretty.

So if you swallow like 1 pound of gum, do you have to eat for years?
