-'''Bubblegum''' is a type of elastic [[chewing gum]], designed to be blown out of the mouth as a  [[wiktionary:bubble|bubble]].
-==History==
-In 1928, [[Walter Diemer]], an accountant for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in [[Philadelphia]], was experimenting with new gum recipes. One recipe was found to be less sticky than regular chewing gum, and stretched more easily. This gum became highly successful and was eventually named by the president of Fleer as [[Dubble Bubble]].  Original bubble gum was pink because that was the only dye Diemer had on hand at the time.
-==Flavors==
-Bubblegum is available in many different colors and flavors. A "bubblegum flavour" is the taste of the plain{{Clarify|date=July 2011}} gum, and it is made from synthetic chemicals, such as [[ethyl methylphenylglycidate]], [[isoamyl acetate]] and others, and fruit extracts, the true ingredients being kept a mystery to customers.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} When blended, the chemicals and extracts fuse together to make a sweet, palatable flavour. Like vanilla, coconut, peppermint and almond extracts, a bubble gum flavour oil can be purchased.
-Flavours also include blue raspberry, strawberry, apple, cherry, watermelon, cinnamon, banana, and grape of which strawberry and banana can be achieved with [[isoamyl acetate]] limonene and [[ethyl methylphenylglycidate]], banana being the former and strawberry being the latter. [[Malic acid]] can be used for apple flavour, [[allyl hexanoate]] for pineapple, [[ethyl propionate]] for fruit punch, [[cinnamic aldehyde]] for cinnamon and [[acetophenone]] for cherry. More unusual ones like berry, cola, lemon lime, peach, tropical fruit, pineapple, orange and fruit punch can be found as well. They usually can only be found in special shops and the flavour is almost always cheap and artificial, as natural flavours are more expensive.
-==Records==
-The 23-inch bubble blown by Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California in 1996 still holds the [[Guinness World Record]]. {{Citation needed|date=May 2011}}
