Tomorrow is going to be why is Friday the thirteenth bad luck!

Nothing happens.

Hey Guys, It is me again. Sorry I haven’t responded in a while. But anyway my Grandma, Grandpa, and cousin Michael have told me that gum stays in your digestive system for 7 yrs. So, I really do want to believe that but it is just that other people were misjudging me for that because I believed in it. I don’t think they should do that. Well I am gonna get off here comment you later.

I heard a lot of old wive’s tales and they are really funny! My parents say this when I eat the seeds inside of a watermelon that there will be a watermelon in my stomach. That really can’t happen, can it?

Cool! Do you have any wonders about the Titanic? I think it would be cool to learn about it! I do think the subject is sad, but I like learning about it. I think tomorrows wonder is? Wait, I don’t know what tomorrows wonder is about. D: I’ll just HAVE to be on tomorrow so I can keep WONDERing! See ya!

I love to chew gum, it is fun. Wonderopolis, do you guys like to chew gum?

How do you come up with this?

The Hunter before wasn’t me.

You have good questions.

We all love gum very, very much! The video was funny and many of us have had gum all over our face and in our hair. A girl in our class named Emma is a gum-a-holic. Do you know how many times each year the Bazooka Blow-Off happens? How big is the world record bubble gum bubble? We are VERY confused by tomorrow’s wonder. Can we get another hint, please? Thanks for everything! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s!~

That video was cool, but what did it do with swallowing gum??

I never thought about what would happen if you swallowed gum.

Dear Wonderopolis,
I didn’t know that chewing gum digests normally. I liked the video about the bubble gum blow off. Some of those bubbles were Huge!!!!!
Even though swallowing gum does not affect you, it is still not okay because it could lead to digestive problems.

Hey Wonderoplis this is a great wonder. I really needed to know what happens if you swallow chewing because my parents always tell me not to swallow gum. Now that I know that it does not sit in your stomach I can tell them its harmless. But one question that I have is why does it take a long time to digest. And why is it bad to swallow a little amount at a time.? Do you think its safe to swallow bubble gum?.

I LOVE GUM THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION~!!!!!!!

I like gum!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alle from Mr. Flinn’s Kindergarten class liked this wonder because she learned how long it takes to digest gum!!!

Haha, funny video.

I have heard that before and I just swallowed my gum when I read this. I really like chewing gum.:}:}:}:}:}:}:}:}

Well,THAT’S a relief. Now I don’t have to worry about it! I think tomorrow’s wonder will be about bullies or something. Any who,

I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE WONDEROPOLIS (^_^)

I swallowed gum before, have you? How do you make gum? Have a wondering day!!!

Hello Wonderopolis! This wonder was very interesting. I learned a lot of cool new facts. Here are three new facts I learned. When you swallow gum your stomach treats it like any other food. And I learned that one part of gum that cannot be digested is the resin or gum base. But it doesn’t sit in your stomach for seven years. The last fact I learned that I will share with you is that some parts of gum such as sweeteners, softeners, and flavorings are broken down by the digestive juices in your stomach. Two new vocabulary words I learned are resin and softener. One question I have is what ingredients in gum would surprise most people? Thank you!

I swallow my gum all the time… Is that really bad? I can’t help it, it’s a bad habit ):

Hey Wonderopolis. I have 2 vocab that I thought were important. They are swallow and sweetener. I also learned 2 new facts, the first one is there is only 1 part of the gum you can digest. The next fact I learned was an old wive’s tale that said it will stay in your system for 7 years. I can’t wait to wonder more!

I really love gum. But sometimes, I accidentally swallow gum. I get scared after swallowing the gum. I wonder if anything might happen to me, like something bad. I learned after reading this article that swallowing gum is sort of okay but the base of the gum stays in your digestive system for two days. There is a rare chance that swallowing gum may cause problems to your digestive system. I still have a question. Can swallowing gum kill you? Can swallowing gum be a cause for blockage in the digestive system? I learned two vocabulary words. Resin is the part of the gum that cannot be swallowed. Sweeteners is the part of the gum that can be digested. Thank you for this Wonder of the Day. It really made me WONDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear wonderopolis,
How do you guys come up with this stuff? They’re great!
My teacher reads them to us every morning and then we answer your questions. Most of the kids in my class don’t like doing quick writes and most of them don’t even do it, but I do!
You’re doing great, wonderopolis!

Your friend, Vienna:)

I have always wondered this.

I was wondering how tall can a person be and how short can a person be?

I once swallowed a gum when I was little and nothing happened to me!

This video was great! Did you know that if you swallow gum, it stays in your digestive system for seven years.

What I really liked about this topic is that I had always wanted to know if it was just a myth how gum stays in your digestive system for seven years but I finally realized that it only stays in your digestive track for two days.

I have swallowed gum before when I was 3, and now I’m 10, so maybe I will finally digest it! It does stay in your digestive system for 7 years, right? 3+7=10, right? Of course it does.

Hi it’s me Abbey I was wondering if that really is true I heard if it gets stuck in your throat the doctor can’t get it out.

P.S. I love gum.

I swallowed my gum almost every day since I was 6 years old. I have NEVER spit a piece out. I am 36 so for 30 years almost everyday I swallowed one or more pieces of gum. No problems, no issues, no nothing.

So I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

I love gum!

I always swalllow gum. Well not always and I don’t mean to.
Ok well got to go and so I will talk to you guys later bye and keep wondering.

Is it bad to swallow gum or is it good?

Does it grow an apple tree?
