Gum doesn't dissolve in the same way that many other substances do; instead, it can break down over time due to exposure to heat, moisture, and saliva. Chewing Gum typically remains intact in the mouth and does not dissolve in water. However, certain ingredients in gum can be broken down by bacteria or enzymes in the digestive system, but the rubbery base of the gum remains largely unchanged. Ultimately, gum is designed to be chewed rather than dissolved.
