I chew gum - sometimes mint, sometimes fruity ones, and I sometimes chew them for too long.  After a few hours, it will start to  “decompose” in my mouth, going into spaces between my teeth.  I think it has the most disgusting taste ever, even more disgusting than having half a mouthful of half-clotted blood. (I had that when the bleeding wouldn’t stop after my wisdom-teeth extraction).

Based on my horrible experience above, I wonder if the rumor that says “if you swallow a piece of gum, it will get stuck in the wall of your intestine” is just a myth.
