Answers: when you swallow gum.

:]

It digests normally like any other food. It doesn't take seven years to digest, and it doesn't clump up in your stomach, like some of the rumors that I have heard.

Nothing happens. It has no nutritional value. You just end up pooping it out.

The acid in your digestive system is so strong that it digests the gum quite easily

There's lots of old wives tales about what happens if you swallow chewing gum. None of them are true.

According to the link shown below, chewing gum consists of a fibre that can't be digested by our bodies, so, if it's swallowed, it will pass harmlessly through the body intact along with other waste. There is no way it can get lost and wrap itself around vital organs or lurk in the stomach for untold years.

It takes a very long time for it to digest.

Well if you have flatulence you might blow a bubble! JK LOL
