National Chewing Gum Day

Chewing gum is a type of gum that is made to be chewed for an extended period of time. It is typically made from a combination of a gum base, sweeteners, flavorings, and softeners. The gum base can be made from a variety of natural or synthetic materials, including chicle, a natural latex, or synthetic rubbers. When you chew gum, your teeth grind the gum, which releases the flavorings and sweeteners, creating a pleasant taste in your mouth. Some people chew gum to freshen their breath, while others chew it as a way to reduce stress or boredom.
