About Chewing Gum Day
United States
Ends: Sep 30, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Chewing Gum Day celebrates the frustration of all janitors, gum.
The practice of chewing a substance goes back to the 1st century AD, when the Greeks, the Mayans, and other civilizations chewed various substances to clean teeth and freshen their breath.
By the 18th century, the South American sapodilla tree's milky extract, chicle (think Chiclet's Gum), became chewing gum, what we call latex today.
The next incarnation came from John B. Curtis, who developed the original commercial chewing gum, "The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum," in 1848. It was the gum of a spruce tree.
Modern chewing gum originates with William F. Semple, who used a flavored synthetic rubber to help patients strengthen their jaw. A dentist by trade, he filed the patent for his chewing gum on December 28, 1869. Amos Tyler of Toledo, Ohio, filed a similar patent on July 27 of the same year. Semple's patent is the one that reigned.
