Is there an expiration date on chewing gum?

I ate some yesterday that was over a year old. It looked fine and tasted fine but later on in the day I started throwing up extremely bad and when I woke up this morning I started throwing up again. The only other things that I consumed yesterday is a sodapop and a soup, the same things that I eat and drink almost everyday, so it has to be the gum. I don't know if it matters, but it was Spearmint.

Is there an expiration date on chewing gum?
I've never heard of getting sick from chewing gum. At least not like that. Once I chewed around 50 pieces of chewing gum on Halloween and ended up throwing up from it but just once.





Most of the time food poising lasts around 24 hours. If your still sick after that then most likely it was not the gum, or the soup, or the soda. You are probably just actually sick, push fluids and get some rest.
Reply:um i think that it was the combination of food you ate you ate soda ,soup and spearmint gum that sounds disgusting to me and gum always taste fine everlasting taste!!!!i think your body probably was dehydrated you only ate soup and a soda and then gum
Reply:THAT sounded like you had a touch of the flu. I have never gotten sick on gum.THINK of what else you ate, IT may have been a little old.
Reply:can't be.. I chew gum like almost everyday and I never threw up. Unless if you have a problem with eating things... then i think that the problem.
Reply:probably cuz if it was spearmint the crystals go bad.





get well soon.
