History of National Bubble Gum Week

The first documented mention of bubble gum was in an editorial in the “New York Post” in 1848, which claimed that a guy called Frank Fleer developed it. He did not, however, find a means to mass-produce the product until 1906, when he created Blibber-Blubber, the first commercial bubble gum.

Bubble gum was originally pink because it was the only food coloring available at the time but now comes in many different colors and flavors. In 1939, Philip Wrigley created Dubble Bubble as a product to use up the surplus of wax. It became a huge success! The origins of National Bubble Gum Week are a bit of a mystery, but it is clear that the celebration was designed to pay tribute to the beloved confectionery. In its earliest incarnation, National Bubble Gum Week was observed in 1975 and celebrated by school children and adults alike who enjoyed a little gum chewing.

Since then, National Bubble Gum Week has grown into something much more significant than just a week-long celebration. There are several events held worldwide every year that celebrate National Bubble Gum Week. This year’s events include workshops on how to make your bubble gum, as well as competitions between schools and organizations that use their creativity to create new flavors of bubble gum.
