Balloons are elastic. This would be more like a plastic bag. Plus, there's more than water in poop, or there should be unless you're having a really bad time.

I compulsively chew at least 11 times in a vain attempt to diminish my obesity. My lack of a sizable beer gut(versus most of my peers) shows promise, nevermind that I basically don't drink, but I assure you, the corn does not care.

Disclaimer, I have dysphagia, so this isn't meant to be the average person's experience, but...
I was eating when I read this and counted how many times I chewed when I took a bite until I felt comfortable swallowing and it was 47. You're telling me normal people can chew as low as 2 times? Astounding.

vithigar @lemmy.ca - 1.0yr
I'm in the zero to ten camp for most foods, but right there with you at 47 for fatty meat of any kind. It feels disgusting in my mouth and to swallow it without gagging I need to basically cut it up with my incisors into smaller and smaller pieces until the texture disappears.

There's a Calvin & Hobbes strip that would apply perfectly here, but I can't find it. It features them discussing how many times it's appropriate to chew food and the punch line is "maybe marshmallows are the exception." Unfortunately, I couldn't find that, so here's the closest I could:
i think i generally chew maybe.. 6-10 times? but depending on the food i can either chew a lot more or a lot less, soft foods like well-boiled spaghetti just don't really make sense to our brains and so we don't chew properly.

unexposedhazard @discuss.tchncs.de - 1.0yr
I mean it depends on what you eat ofcourse. Its just a linear change between soup(0) and crackers(idk maybe 10).
Like a mouthful Spaghetti doesnt need too much like maybe 4-5 times for me, but i have seen plenty of people who almost swallow pasta unchewed. Something like meat or carrots or whatever needs some more to get it to a small enough size to swallow and it just keeps going up with size, hardness and dryness.

Fortunately, I think you'd probably notice if you did. Makes it hella hard to swallow stuff unless you pulverize it to a paste. In my case, some days I can't even swallow things as simple as applesauce and have to just drink high calorie liquids.
Edit: After seeing the rest of your comments in this thread... Yeah, sounds like dysphagia. Dysphagia is a symptom though, not the condition itself. If you've got it, something deeper is wrong. In my case it's likely nerve damage and allergies together.

I don't even know how you keep the food in your mouth chewing that long. After a minute most of it has managed to make it's way to my throat without any effort by me to get it there.

DeaDvey @lemmy.ml - 1.0yr
Yeah, I never really actively swallow, it's too painful, I just wait for the food to slide down.

medgremlin @midwest.social - 1.0yr
You should ask about getting a swallowing study done to find out what's going on because that isn't normal. It might be an esophageal stricture or spasm that can be fixed.

afaik its more based on time than number of chews, food generally spends about 10-20 seconds in your mouth if you aren't in a rush but it depends on the food and individual

Duranie @literature.cafe - 1.0yr
The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it's less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.

It hurts when i shit corn but it won't stop me from eating it. real good shit.
