Swallowing your gum

you're funny hockeyismylife,why do you have to swallow it? I think it's bad, coz it can get stuck in your system, and it doesn't melt, or I dunno how to say it but it's just going to stay there forever,lol. my mom used to warn me about gums, and seeds,you know fruit seeds, they have funny stories about what's gonna happen if you swallow it.but then, when you think about it, it is really harmful.be careful.^^
