chewing gum

Gummy confectionery to be chewed not swallowed. It is composed mainly of chicle (milky juice of the tropical sapodilla tree Achras zapota of Central America), usually flavoured with mint, sweetened, and pressed flat. The first patent was taken out in the USA in 1871. Bubble gum is a variety that allows chewers to blow bubbles.
