    Eating it won't kill you, just letting y'all know. It'll go right through the digestive system and out, you'll only absorb the sugars not the plastic or rubber; nor is it toxic! You're supposed to chew not swallow anyways.
    Another heads up: There are still companies who make gum the old fashion way with natural ingredients and no rubber/plastic

      Gum has been made from rubber for almost as long as gum has existed...
      "Old gum bases were based on either natural elastomers such as latexes, vegetable gums like chicle, spruce gum, and mastic gum, or alternatively on waxes, e.g. paraffin wax and beeswax, but today synthetic rubbers are preferred."

    • @gandalf8216
      @gandalf8216 Před rokem +31

      It's not uncommon to use cellulose-derivatives, which could be called synthetic, but are chemically a plastic polymer, but it's a polymer based on cellulose and is as such not digested if swallowed. It's unstable in solution, and will break down from heat. So traces in your body will just disintegrate into glucose chains and dietary fiber strands.

    Dubble Bubble is not the best for blowing bubbles. That honour goes to Hubba Bubba and Bubble Tape.
    And the fruit-flavoured Dubble Bubble shown here is just a recent-ish knockoff of Bazooka bubble gum. The REAL Dubble Bubble is the flat pieces in the original 1928 wintergreen flavour, now referred to as "spice". My parents grew up with it, and so did I.
