Everybody likes
chewing-gum. Do you want to know more about this substance?

People have enjoyed chewing-gum like
substances in many lands and from very early times. Some of these substances
were thickened resin and latex from certain kinds of trees. Others were various
sweet grasses, leaves, grains and waxes.

For centuries, the ancient Greeks
chewed mastic gum or mastich which is the resin obtained from the bark of the
mastic tree especially found on the island of Chios, Greece.
Grecian women especially favoured chewing mastic gum to clean their teeth and
sweeten their breath.

From the Indians if New England, the American colonists learned to chew the
gum-like resin that formed on spruce trees when the bark was cut. Lumps of
spruce gum were sold in eastern America
during the early 1800.

After being defeated by the Americans
in Texas, Mexican General Santa Anna was
exiled to New York.
Like many of his countrymen, Santa Anna chewed chicle. One day, he introduced
it to Thomas Adams who began experimenting with it as a substitute for rubber. Adams tried to make toys, masks and rain boots out of
chicle, but every experiment failed.

Sitting in his workshop one day, he popped a
piece of surplus stock into his mouth. Shortly after that, he opened the first
chewing-gum factory making Adams New York N°1.
