What is bubble gum?

Bubble gum is a type of chewing gum that is specifically made for blowing bubbles. It was first invented in the early 1900s and quickly became popular among children and young adults. Bubble gum is typically made with a combination of sugar, gum base, corn syrup, and flavorings. Some popular flavors of bubble gum include fruit flavors such as strawberry, watermelon, and grape.

The key characteristic of bubble gum is its ability to stretch and form bubbles when chewed. This is due to the gum base, which is elastic and able to hold its shape when air is blown into it. Bubble gum also tends to have a longer-lasting flavor than regular chewing gum.

However, it is important to note that bubble gum should not be swallowed as it can be harmful if ingested. It is also important to dispose of bubble gum properly to avoid littering.
