What is the history of bubble-gum?

Bubble gum has its origins in the late 19th century, with the first known bubble gum being created in 1928 by Walter Diemer, an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Company. Diemer's recipe included a unique blend of rubbery substances that allowed for blowing bubbles. The gum was initially marketed as "Dubble Bubble," gaining popularity in the 1930s and becoming a staple in American culture. Over the years, various flavors and brands have emerged, but the fundamental concept of bubble gum has remained largely the same.
