Do you swallow your bubble gum?

Or do you spit it out when you are done with it? If you spit it out, do you find a trash can or just spit it on the sidewalk/road..? I never swallow gum, I always spit it out! I always try to spit it into a trash bag/can ect. But there have been a few times when I got desperate and spit it on the road :( So you spit or swallow?

I usually end up swallowing it after it loses it's flavor or i get sick of chewing it. Every now and then i do throw it in the trash but it's not often.

before when i was a kid, i often swallowed gums accidentally or sometimes intentionally, but my parents said it's bad coz it can stick into my lungs, i don't know if it's true, but after that i never swallow a gum again, and i throw it in the trash can,sometimes in the street.

when i was a kid i used to do both. i mostly swallowed it though. i never knew why but now i spit it. when im done chewing, i always find a trash can to spit it in. if not, i would keep on chewing it til i come to trash can.

When the gum has lost its flavor and become too rubbery for me, I find a trashcan or restroom (toilet) in which to spit the gum. If I can't find somewhere to spit the gum, I spit it into a piece of kleenex and put it in my purse for later disposal. I will not spit it onto the ground...I just can't bring myself to do this! I can't stand to be walking and step in melted gum and have it on my shoe for hours...and so I don't spit mine for someone else to step in!

I never spit or swallow my gum,I simply take it out of my mouth and stick it under something -like a middle school kid ;-)

I love gum, but I will not surrender anywhere, I will pack it in the paper then one into the dustbin, so as not give others causing distress.

gum gives me a headache after chewing it for sometime. If I can't find a place to put it. I would swallow it.

I always spit mine out. my mom used to tell us when we were kids that if we swallowed our gum it would form a big ball in our tummy.
