Bubble gum has a long and storied history. Its origins can be traced back to the early 1900s, when a man named Walter Diemer was working for Fleer Company in Philadelphia. He was experimenting with new gum recipes and stumbled upon a recipe that was much better than anything else on the market at the time. This new gum was softer and more flexible, making it perfect for blowing bubbles.
Diemer’s discovery revolutionized the gum industry and sparked a craze for bubble blowing that is still going strong today. Bubble gum has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Today, there are countless different flavors and brands of bubble gum to choose from.
Bubble gum is made from a mixture of natural and synthetic rubber, sugar, corn syrup, and other flavorings. The first step in making bubble gum is to mix the rubber with the sugar and corn syrup. This mixture is then put into a machine that extrudes it into long strands. These strands are then cut into small pieces and placed into molds. The molds are then put into a machine that vulcanizes them, which gives the gum its elasticity. Once the gum has cooled, it is ready to be wrapped and packaged.
Bubble gum first became popular in the early 1900s. Since then, there have been many different brands of bubble gum that have become famous. Some of the most famous brands include:
-Bazooka Joe: Bazooka Joe bubble gum was first introduced in 1953. The gum comes with a comic on the wrapper.
-Blow Pops: Blow Pops are lollipops with bubble gum in the center. They were first introduced in 1967.
-Bubble Yum: Bubble Yum is one of the oldest bubble gum brands still around today. It was first introduced in 1976.
-Dubble Bubble: Dubble Bubble is another one of the oldest bubble gum brands. It was first introduced in 1928.
