It has been proven that gum doesn't take 7 years to make it's way through the digestive tract but it has no nutritional value so i spit it out.

You can't swallow your gum don't you know it will stick to your lungs and you'll suffocate gah!  ::)

if your esophagus (attached to your mouth) leads to your lungs you have problems.

definately spit it out.  The thought of swallowing it kinda grosses me out.  I mean how long would it stay in your stomach before it is finally digested?  gross.

I was always told 7 years.... not sure if there is any scientific evidence of that though :)

I spit it out. I try to find a garbage can though. I just don't spit it out on the street.

I spit it out.  It is gross to swallow it.  We tell kids not to so why should we swallow it as adults.

I usually swallow my gum, although I never mean to swallow it.
