Tomorrow is National Chewing
Gum Day!
Yes, that is a picture of my fave
flavor. It is long lasting AND
blows GREAT bubbles.
According to the NET, humans
have used chewing gum of over
5,000 years.
5,000 year old chewing gum
made of tar bark was found in
Kierikki, Yli, li, Finland. The
tar bark was thought to have
medicinal properties in it.
In 1848, John B. Curtis
developed and sold the first
commercial chewing gum
called "The State of Maine
Pure Spruce Gum."
Today's Top Ten Flavors are:
1. Mint
2. Spearmint
3. Peppermint
4. Berry
5. Citrus
6. Wintergreen
7. Mixed Fruit
8. Cinnamon
9. Watermelon
10. Bubble Gum
There you have it. What's
your favorite flavor???
