National Bubble Gum Week

Few childhood pleasures match the simple, satisfying joy of unwrapping a fresh piece of bubble gum and blowing the biggest bubble possible. Every March 08, National Bubble Gum Week gives Candy lovers across the United States a full seven days to celebrate this gloriously fun and Sweet Food tradition. Walter Diemer accidentally invented bubble gum in 1928 while experimenting with gum recipes at a Philadelphia candy factory. His happy mistake created a global phenomenon enjoyed by millions daily. From classic pink squares to bold fruit flavors and novelty shapes, bubble gum continuously reinvents itself while maintaining its irresistible, playful charm. Some treats never grow old. Bubble gum proves that point perfectly with every satisfying, stretchy, colorful piece.
