It entwines round your heart and kills you...or so my Mum used to say.

I tired it once, then told her I had .
She said I hadn't swallowed enough.

Didn't like to be proved wrong, my Mum........

"What happens if you swallow gum while chewing? does it do any harm? "

Nothing happens. I accidentally swallow gum all the time. I love, love chewing gum and I buy it by the box. And no, I don't chew loudly or pop my chewing gum - that's very annoying.

Are you the Redhead from the caravan? If you are you'll know what I'm talking about.:-)

One of the great things about 'QI', on BBC TV, is that it often debunks common myths. (Yes,my mother also told me about the 'perils' of both chewing gum and bubble gum. I was never allowed to buy them).

In one programme, Stephen Fry asked a very similar one to that which has been asked here. The correct answer, of course, is that swallowing gum does no harm whatsoever. (As Ratter15 points out, the stuff wouldn't be sold if it was harmful).
