    Eating it won't kill you, just letting y'all know. It'll go right through the digestive system and out, you'll only absorb the sugars not the plastic or rubber; nor is it toxic! You're supposed to chew not swallow anyways.

      Gum has been made from rubber for almost as long as gum has existed...
      "Old gum bases were based on either natural elastomers such as latexes, vegetable gums like chicle, spruce gum, and mastic gum, or alternatively on waxes, e.g. paraffin wax and beeswax, but today synthetic rubbers are preferred."

    • @gandalf8216
      @gandalf8216 Рік тому +31

      It's not uncommon to use cellulose-derivatives, which could be called synthetic, but are chemically a plastic polymer, but it's a polymer based on cellulose and is as such not digested if swallowed. It's unstable in solution, and will break down from heat. So traces in your body will just disintegrate into glucose chains and dietary fiber strands.

    Who else came here after watching the Hugbee’s version and thought the part about plastics and rubber was just his usual goofy misinformation?

    What was weird to me was how popular bubble gum flavoured ice-cream was! I was never a fan, found it boring... Like the taste wasn't sweet like any "fruit" flavour, it was just... Bubble gum 😆
