hahahahahahaha.
even if it did come out the other side intact (which it wouldn't), it would really really really not be a good idea to chew it.

Anyhow... Unless it's got cellulose or anything with a bizarre atomic structure.

I read this just now

"What Exactly Happens to the Gum?

Chewing gum is made of either natural or synthetic materials (gum resin), preservatives, flavorings, and sweeteners. The body can absorb sweeteners, such as sugar, and they can add up to a lot of calories if you chew a lot of sugary gum. But the human digestive tract can't digest the gum resin. It's moved through the digestive tract by the normal pushing (peristaltic) actions of the gut. The gum's journey ends during a trip to the bathroom."

depends on the food, most will be broken down by acid in stomach, but certain foods (like peas and sweetcorn) will not as your acid cannot break down the skin around them



Of course you can! The taste may be off a bit, but if you're willing to try, good luck!



stomach acids will break it down but certain foods such as corn dont get broken down. but i would say gum would get broken down.



Thats gross why would you want to excrete your gum and then chew it. Not good!



No.
It will get broken down inside you.
Don't worry about anything.



no the stomach acids will break it down, it may take awhile though
