Bubble Gum

I absolutely love gum, especially bubble gum! There is nothing more enjoyable to me than chewing on huge piece of pink bubble gum, blowing a giant bubble, and the waiting for that bubble to explode all over my face! Gum has been all around the world for a long time, although, bubble gum was first discovered by accident in 1928. Walter Diemer was an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Company. In Walter's spare time like to do some experimenting of his own with gum. One day while experimenting with some recipes he formulated a gum that was not as stick as the gum at the time and was more flexible which made it perfect for making bubbles. When we think of gum we commonly think of bright pink blocks wrapped in paper. The reason Walter Diemer made his gum pink was because it was the only option that he had, and i guess it stuck. Walter began selling his new bubbley bubble gum and soon it became a hit. The first day that he took his gum out to sell in stores it sold out! Walter then quit his job as an accountant and opened his own bubble gum company "Double Bubble". Double Bubble was the only bubble gum company clear till World War II, till other companies picked up on this great idea. Today, there are so many different kinds, flavors, and colors of bubble gum to choose from!
