ok, wtf is with the " i just ate XXX, am I going to die?" threads?

1) its fvcking annoying
2) if you're that stupid that you think eating normal food will kill you, then maybe you do deserve to die. it wouldn't be sold if it could kill you.

Gum is fiber. Fiber passes immediately through your body. You should be able to see it late today or tomorrow in your stool.

All the gum swallowing crap is old wifes tales. It doesn't stay in your body. It doesn't cause blockages. It doesn't take 7 years to digest.

I've been swallowing chewing gum for my whole life without problems - and so have millions (billions?) of other people since gum is in many food products.

Uh...these threads are common? I kinda doubt it. Don't be a cock, it's pretty obvious that i'm joking. If you're so annoyed by it, then i guess you get annoyed extremely easily :p

I hope that no one actually believed that...
