Different people have different motivations for chewing; independently whether it’s a matter of fresh breath, a flavourful treat or playful bubbles there is something for everyone.
Reasons to chew
People worldwide have chewed on natural materials for hundreds of years. Some of these materials include thickened resin and latex from certain types of trees, various sweet grasses, leaves, grains and waxes.
Gum base is the ingredient that distinguishes chewing and bubble gum from all other confectionery products. It is an insoluble and non-nutritive substance that enables a chewing gum to be chewed for hours without experiencing substantial changes.
Modern chewing gum products evolved from a chicle-based gum brought to the United States in the early 1860s. Nowadays, we generally group the reasons people have for chewing gum in the following:
