Why does gum make bubbles?
The warmth of your mouth softens the gum. Chewing separates out the sugar and colouring and helps align the long molecules in the gum base. To blow a bubble, you're supposed to chew until all the flavour is gone, so that the smaller sugar molecules don't weaken the bubble.
What happens if u swallow gum?
Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally isn't harmful if swallowed. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it. But the gum doesn't stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool.
What is the oldest gum in the world?
In fact, the oldest piece of chewing gum ever found is thought to be 9,000 years old! Many years before Columbus landed in America, citizens of the world were chewing gum and popping bubbles. The ancient Greeks chewed “mastiche," while the Mayan Indians were busy chomping on “chicle."
