how long does it take chewing gum to digest if you swallow it?

Answer 1

it doesnt digest, it comes out the other end whole. there is tons of it at sewerage works, sweetcorn is the same too. They bulldoze it onto trucks and incinerate it.

Answer 2

Chewing gum does break down in the stomach as does sweet corn however it is sometimes not in the digestive tract long enought to break down. Hence the 2 tons of gum and sweet corn blocking your local sewage works. I f you think thats bad you should see the ten tons of human fat mixed with pubic hairs which blocks it up too

Answer 6

I've heard that kids who swallow gum can have balls as big as golf balls acumulate in their intestines.

Dunno if its really true.

But when I was a kid, it would disintegrate if I ate crisps with gum. Maybe thats its kryptonite - fried wafers of crispy potato.

It doesn't. It would pass all the way through your digestive system before you digested it.
