However, Chad Fell holds the record for "Largest Hands-free Bubblegum Bubble" at 20 inches (51 cm), achieved on 24 April 2004. In 1996, Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California, set the Guinness World Record for largest bubble gum bubble ever blown, which was 26 inches (66 cm) in diameter. In taste tests, children tend to prefer strawberry and blue raspberry flavors, rejecting more complex flavors, as they say these make them want to swallow the gum rather than continue chewing. The first brands in the US to use these new synthetic gum bases were Hubba Bubba and Bubble Yum.īubble gum got its distinctive pink color because the original recipe Diemer worked on produced a dingy gray colored gum, so he added red dye (diluted to pink), as that was the only dye he had on hand at the time. At that time, synthetic bubble gum was introduced, which would almost never stick as a bubble popped. Until the 1970s, bubble gum still tended to stick to one's face. ![]() This remained the dominant brand of bubble gum until after WWII, when Bazooka bubble gum entered the market. This gum became highly successful and was eventually named by the president of Fleer as Dubble Bubble because of its stretchy texture. One recipe, based on a formula for a chewing gum called "Blibber Blubber", was found to be less sticky than regular chewing gum and stretched more easily. In 1928, Walter Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in Philadelphia, was experimenting with new gum recipes. These materials allow for longer lasting flavor, a softer texture, and a reduction in tackiness. However, most modern types of chewing gum use synthetic gum-based materials. In modern chewing gum, if natural rubber such as chicle is used, it must pass several purity and cleanliness tests. Vanilla, cherry, lemon, and orange oil have also been suggested as ingredients. Ī natural bubble gum flavoring can be produced by combining banana, pineapple, cinnamon, cloves, and wintergreen. Esters used in synthetic bubble gum flavoring may include methyl salicylate, ethyl butyrate, benzyl acetate, amyl acetate or cinnamic aldehyde. ![]() While there is a bubble gum "flavor" – which various artificial flavorings including esters are mixed to obtain – it varies from one company to another. ![]() Bubble gum (or bubblegum) is a type of chewing gum, designed to be inflated out of the mouth as a bubble.
