#32: Don’t Swallow Gum
Were you ever told as a child that if you accidentally swallowed chewing gum, it would be stuck inside your intestines for at least 7 years? Sure, swallowing it isn’t great, but it also isn’t great to scare children.
This myth taunted children of all ages not to wallow in gum, so much so that they would become very anxious if they did by accident. The next time you’re around someone who swallows their gum, reassure them that it’s ok.
