The beginning of bubble gum
Before the gum that we know today was created, most chewing gum was made with chicle from sapodilla trees of Central America. The ancient Mayans chewed chicle to fight hunger. In the late 1800s, it became the primary ingredient in chewing gum throughout the US. The first bubble gum, however, was not invented until the early 1900s.
Around 1906, a confectioner named Frank Fleer wanted to develop a gum strong and stretchy enough to be blown into bubbles. He called it Blibber-Blubber. Although it could be blown into bubbles, it was too sticky to package. Later, an employee of Fleer’s company, Walter Demier, continued experimenting with Blibber- Blubber. In 1928, he discovered by accident the perfect recipe that was strong enough for bubbles, but not too sticky for packaging.
The original gum that Demier created was a dull, gray color. To make the gum look more appealing, he made it pink with some food dye he found in his lab at the time. The product was renamed Dubble Bubble and became very popular. Its pink color also set the industry standard for bubble gum products across the world.

泡泡糖的起源
在今日我们所知的口香糖被创造出来之前，大部分的口香糖都是 由树胶所制成，这种树胶取自于中美洲的人心果树。古马雅人嚼树 胶以对抗饥饿。1800 年代晚期，它成为美国口香糖的主要成分。不 过，第一种泡泡糖直到 1900 年代初叶才被发明出来。
约 1906 年，一位名为弗兰克.费力尔的糖果商想研发出一种 有足够韧性及弹性、足以被吹成泡泡的口香糖。他称这种口香糖为 Blibber-Blubber。虽然它能被吹成泡泡，但它太黏了而无法包装。后 来，费力尔公司的一位员工沃尔特.迪默继续对 Blibber-Blubber 做 实验。1928 年，他意外发现一个完美的配方，让泡泡糖的韧性足以 被吹成泡泡，但包装起来又不至于太黏。
迪默所创造的第一批泡泡糖是暗灰色。为了让泡泡糖看起来更吸 睛，他用了一些当时在实验室找到的食用色素让它变成粉红色。这个 产品被重新命名为 Dubble Bubble 并大受欢迎。Dubble Bubble 的 粉红色也为全球泡泡糖产品树立了该产业的标准。
