Takeaways
  • In 1880, Thomas Adams used chicle sap from the Sapodilla tree as a base for chewing gum.
  • Cinnamon, spearmint, and peppermint are the most popular flavors for gum.
  • Bubble gum is pink because that is the only coloring the manufacture had.
Did You Know?
You can remove gum from hair by using peanut butter. Knead a small amount into the hair and the gum will disperse enough that you can remove it.
