Even though your bubble gum WILL lose it’s flavor on the bedpost overnight, today is National Chewing Gum.
William Wrigley, founder of Wrigley’s Gum, invented direct mail marketing because of chewing gum. In 1915 he mailed a pack of gum to every person in the phone directory in the United States. People are even trying to collect and recycle used chewing gum into new products, such as rubber soles for shoes.
