DID YOU KNOW:

  • Did you know that chewing gum has been around for over 900 years?

  • Many doctors, however, said it was unhealthy.  In 1869, one wrote that chewing gum would "exhaust the salivary glands and cause the intestines to stick together." 
  • In the United States alone, there are about 20 chewing gum manufacturers.
  • In the United States, total retail sales of chewing gum (including bubble gum) is over $2.0 billion.
  • They can't make chocolate-flavored chewing gum.  Unfortunately, the cocoa butter in chocolate acts as an emulsifier on chewing gum base, making it extremely soft, negatively affecting the chewing quality of the product.
  • But why is bubble gum pink? Bubble gum is pink because when the big moment arrived, when destiny came calling on Walter Diemer, pink was the one and only shade of food coloring he had nearby.




  • Did you know there are over 374 trillion (374,000,000,000,000) sticks of chewing gum made each year?
  • Did you know 100 pieces of chewed gum (if rolled up into a ball) is about the same size as a golf ball (GB)?
  • The average person chews over 300 pieces of gum every year which equivalents to approximately three GB's; I know I chew more!
  • The average person chews approximately 3 GB’s worth of chewing gum every year,15 GB’s worth of chewing gum every 5 years, 30 GB’s worth of chewing gum every 10 years and so on.
