Gum As We Know It Today

During World War II, various types of chewing gum were included in soldiers’ rations, as it was believed to help with thirst, hunger, and stress. After WWII, the process for creating chewing gum became almost entirely synthetic, with stabilizers, waxes, and petroleum-based elastomers replacing the natural ingredients once used.

Whether your favorite gum is BazookaWrigley’s, or Teaberry, there’s no denying the appeal of chewing gum. With more flavors today than ever before, it seems that our obsession with chewing gum isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
