Bubble gum has a history which goes way back to 1900. Frank Fleer, owner of a candy company, thought of making a gum, out of which bubbles could be blown. Despite the large number of trials he took, he had to settle with a sticky gum which did not make much profit. It was in 1928, when Walter Diemer, who worked for Fleer, stumbled upon a recipe, which was a lot more stretchable and less sticky. He took it to a grocery store, where it was sold very easily. It was named as the 'Double bubble gum'. Diemer had a nice time teaching his colleagues and little kids to blow bubbles from the gum. 'Double bubble gum' ruled the market solely till the entry of 'Bazooka bubble gum'.
The bubble made by Natural sugar or Corn syrup is used to give the bubblegum a sweet taste.
The bubblegum can be different it can be Circle, Oval, Squire with warp and etc.
About 79% of sugar is present in a single stick of gum. Natural sugar or corn syrup are used in order to give the gum a sweet taste. It also enhances the texture of the gum. Artificial sweeteners like saccharin and aspartame also serve the same purpose.
