It is no secret that chewing gum is used to cleanse the mouth and freshen breath.
But there are still a few facts about chewing gum that few people know: for example, what size was the largest bubble gum bubble, who started the bubble-blowing craze, and where the “chewing wall” is located.
The biggest bubble made of gum
An attempt to set a record was made in 1994 by American Susan Montgomery, who blew a bubble gum bubble with a diameter of 58.5 cm. The girl used her hands, which resulted in the bubble having "horns", which were also taken into account.
It was probably this error that prevented Susan from making it into the Guinness Book of Records. That place went to American Chad Fell, who managed to blow a 50.5-centimeter bubble of chewing gum without using his hands.
Bubbles on order
The fashion for blowing bubbles from chewing gum appeared thanks to one of the chewing gum manufacturers, the Dubble Bubble company, which launched a television competition in 1954.
"Chewing" wall
Such a structure is located in California – here anyone can stick their gum on the wall.
This was done to ensure that residents and tourists do not throw chewing gum on the sidewalk, but place their trash in a designated area.
