Gumballs are ICONIC and delicious
A brief history on why gumballs are a 🫧POP🫧 Icon
Chewing gum has its origins in ancient times from Mayans to Greeks who would chew the resin of certain trees for medicinal purposes and maybe even for freshening breath. The history of chewing gum continued as Native Americans introduced it to the European settlers. In 1900 Frank Fleer coated chewing gum with sugar, and in 1906 Blibber Blubber was invented, but never made it to the market. Blibber Blubber was too sticky and according to some resources it was also too difficult to remove the burst bubble from one’s skin without vigorous scrubbing and turpentine.Bubblegum has been popular since, especially among children, thanks to its bright wrapper appeal, inventive shapes, and sugary flavors, from original bubblegum to a yardstick of fruity bubblegum. Bubblegum is not only a thing, it’s also a flavor, a color, and a music genre. It’s also something librarians don’t want to see stuck between book pages. you can learn more on this topic on Wikipedia
