The history of chewing gum People have enjoyed chewing gum-like substances from very early times. For centuries the ancient Greeks chewed mastic gum. This is the resin obtained from the bark of the mastic tree, a bush-like tree found mainly in Greece and Turkey. Greek women especially liked chewing gum to clean their teeth and sweeten their breath. From the Indians of New England the American colonists learned to chew the gum-like resin. Small pieces of fir tree gum were sold in the eastern United States during the early 1800s, making it the first commercial chewing gum in this country. In about 1850, sweetened paraffin wax became popular and eventually exceeded fir tree gum in popularity. In 1845 Mexican General Santa Anna was exiled to live in New York. Like many Mexicans, Santa Anna chewed chicle, a substance produced from an evergreen tropical plant. One day he introduced it to inventor Thomas Adams, who began experimenting with chicle instead of rubber. Adams tried to make toys, masks, and rain boots out of chicle, but every experiment failed. Sitting in his workshop one day, suddenly he put a piece of chicle into his mouth. While chewing it, the idea suddenly hit him to add flavouring to the chicle. Thus, the first chewing gum appeared. Shortly, Adams opened the worlds first chewing gum factory. Then, in the 1890s, a man named William Wrigley first made chewing gum as we know it today. William Wrigley had little education or money, but he had an idea. He made gum into flat sticks and added special flavors. Today, Wrigleys different gums are among the most popular chewing gums in America. Also in 1928, bubble gum was invented by Walter Diemer. Working for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in his spare time he was experimenting new gum recipes. Diemers invention was less sticky than the regular one and it also stretched easily. One day he saw the bubbles and also the possibilities to make the chewing gum different. There was only pink to colour food in the factory. Walter Diemer used it. That is why most bubble gum today is pink and popular among children. During World Wars the US Army found that when soldiers chewed the gum they felt less thirsty. So, American soldiers were given chewing gum each day. American soldiers who fought in Europe often gave gum to the people they met. Gum became as popular as it was in the United States. Today, of course, chewing gum can be found around the world.

Adams experiment to make different things out of chicle was A. a success. B. difficult to carry out. C. unsuccessful. D. very popular. 6. William Wrigleys chewing gum A. was flavoured. B. was not flavoured. C. had a round shape. D. was not popular. 7. Walter Diemer invented A. a chewing gum without bubbles. B. a gum of a different colour. C. more sticky chewing gum. D. the gum which is popular among adults. 8. American soldiers used the chewing gum A. instead of food. B. for fresh breath. C. as a present. D. for the good memory.
