Chewing gum takes seven years to get out of your system. That is false, but in past years i have heard both, it takes sevens years and it goes right through your body. I think moms tell their kids it takes seven years to go through your body becasue they dont want their kids to swallow gum bc they dont want them to choke on it. I remember when my mom told me that, i was sacred at first to swallow my gum bc i didnt want the gum in my system for seven years! But when i got older i did not care so sometimes i swallow my gum and sometimes i dont.
