rubber, the main ingrediant in gum, is in a family of plastic called elastopolymers. elastopolymers, like most plastics, are immune to almost all acidic substances, including stomach acid. ( added by i dont know)

No, gum does not dissolve in your stomach. It passes through your digestive system without being broken down.
Gum typically does not dissolve in the stomach and can pass through the digestive system without harm. It usually takes a few days to be excreted. Swallowing gum occasionally is generally safe, but it is not recommended as a regular practice.
Thats what tons of people ask me! Well, what can happen is when the sugar in the gum mixes with the saliva, it goes down to the stomach. The Saliva and Sugar make a chemical that help dissolve food in your stomach. BUT, if there is no food to digest in your stomach, the chemical starts to digest your stomach lineng. Plus, if you swallow gum it takes 7 DAYS to digest it... be careful with gum!
bacon because gum gets stuck to the sides of your stomach and intestines
Mentos are actully gum too.they just made it hard so thats why it looks like a candy.
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.
Many solvents will dissolve gum, but they will also usually stain whatever you use them on. The mildest is vegetable oil, which can dissolve or loosen some types of gum. Naphtha, methanol, acetone, and urea products will also dissolve some types of gum. The easiest way to remove most gum (from hair, fabrics) is using ice to harden it, so that it can be flaked off the surface.
yes! I just tried 2 pieces of mint gum with a piece of chocolate and I ended with a mushy gum and a strange stluguish choc-mint mess that swallow thinking it was only the choc part :/
the gum contains sodium bisulfite which the water cant dissolve
The word gum has a hard g sound.Examples of hard g:GameGateGeckoGetGiftGirlGoalGoodGumGun
Bubble gum does not dissolve completely in isopropyl alcohol, but it can soften and break down to some extent due to the alcohol's solvent properties. The primary ingredients in bubble gum, such as gum base, sugars, and flavorings, react differently to solvents, with the gum base being more resistant. While isopropyl alcohol may help in loosening and removing some components, it won't fully dissolve the gum as water or certain other solvents might.
Make a thick paste with baking soda and water, and smooth it over the gum.
