Parker McCollum’s Weird Gum Habit

You’ve probably heard the old wives’ tale that if you swallow a piece of gum it will remain in your digestive tract for seven years.

Well, Parker McCollum is taking that science to a whole new level.

He recently said in an interview with “CMT” that he has swallowed every piece of gum he’s ever eaten, and he seemed proud of it.

“One time I swallowed 46 in one sitting. True story. And feel great . . . Doctor says everything is good.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, “If you swallow gum, it’s true that your body can’t digest it . . . But the gum doesn’t stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool.”

So, here’s a fun fact you might not have known: Parker McCollum has pooped out more gum than maybe any country singer ever.
