At that time, the quality of bubble gum was poor, the bubbles blown out should stick to the lips, and the aroma of sugar was not good, so it was unpopular. Later, the boss improved the formula and production method, and it took about a spring and autumn to finalize the design. In many big cities in the United States, the annual price in the United States is all the rage. Earned a lot of money back. In order to keep a secret, the boss never revealed the method of making bubble gum, and even refused to apply for a patent. In fact, according to archaeologists' research, the origin of bubble gum may be traced back to Maya in the first century. A few years ago, a kind of gum grew on Yuda Dan Island near Mexico today. Maya collected latex from it, and added honey, sugarcane juice and natural pigment to make a soft pink chewing gum, which was elastic and insoluble in water. This candy, when chewed in an upright position, can clean the mouth and tartar and blow out a bubble for fun. This is the earliest bubble gum in the world. Functional super bubble gum is made of natural gum or glycerol resin-based edible plastic as colloid and added with sugar, starch syrup, mint or Brandt essence. And mixed and pressed.

Bubble gum increases chewing activity in the mouth, promotes facial blood circulation and muscle exercise, and promotes the development of teeth and face. (2) Promote digestion. When chewing bubble gum, salivary gland secretion increases, which can promote digestion. (3) clean the mouth.

Bubble gum contains gum to remove bacteria, or mechanical wiping to clean the mouth. Too much bubble gum: (1) affects maxillofacial development. Bubble gum increases tongue activity. In the process of chewing and blowing bubbles, the tongue is constantly spit out, supplemented and stretched, which can affect the development of maxillofacial region and cause dentofacial deformity. (2) poisoning. The matrix of bubble gum is mainly polyvinyl acetate resin and plasticizer. Plasticizer and sugar are dissolved in the mouth and swallowed into the human body. Each piece of bubble gum contains 350 mg of plasticizer. Although the toxicity is low, every 4 ~ 8 pieces are taken, which is close to the toxic dose of human body. (3) unsanitary. Many children like to blow bubbles in their hands and put them back in their mouths, which is easy to get infected with bacteria. (4) accidents. Children should not eat bubble gum.
