True or false?

I have never heard of that before - I am sure it is possible -because you start thinking about something else, which stops you from crying.

The old wives tale is that chewing gum stops you from crying while cutting onions ... not that it can stop you crying period. And yes, in terms of onions, it does work. I keep gum on hand just for that reason. My eyes are incredibly sensitive, and cutting onions usually ends up being a painful experience. Chewing gum while doing it stops the fumes from stinging my eyes.

Hi littleone,

I have not heard about this before but I have experienced it once...LOL!
I was so mad and want to cry one time when I was in the mall, and that time I had my chewing gum...I just chew hardly like putting all my force there and expressing my anger through chewing and surprisingly, I didn't have any tears...LOl

That was the time, I realized that it was the best thing to do whenever I don't like to tear when I am in public...

I am very sensitive that even short issues sometimes will made me cry not because I want to, but because I am mad and can't shout..LOL!

I have never heard of this before but I guess it could work. I don't know what gum would have to do with crying,but I guess it could work. It is amazing some of the old wives tales that I hear that really do work that I think are a little odd. Where did he hear this?

Oh really amazing. Have to try this out and practically experience it. hmm..

Yes it does. I think it is the same reason my it pops your ears. Basicly when you are chewing gum you are massaging your eyes and ears. Sounds weird but its true.

Trying to get first best answer, please help

i never heared of it that chewing gum can stop you crying.i heared only that chewing gum makes you hungry and gives you fresh breath also it helps to get nervous out they said.
