Bubble Gum Day

Bubble Gum Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to chewing gum. This delightful invention has many advantages: it gives a pleasant smell in the mouth and helps remove bits of food from teeth. It is believed that chewing gum can help you focus on tasks and distract from unnecessary thoughts. The holiday is every first Friday of February.

History

In its modern form, chewing gum came into existence in 1928 when it was called Double Bubble. Since then, many varieties of chewing gum have appeared, and the flavor palette has expanded significantly. Today, mint and berry chewing gums are the most popular. The history of Bubble Gum Day, however, goes much deeper than just the invention of the product.

The establishment of Bubble Gum Day is credited to children’s literature author Ruth Spiro. She focused on promoting philanthropy among children. In educational institutions, Ruth Spiro encouraged this by donating a few coins to various school events. Children only needed to purchase a few pieces of chewing gum. This idea is suitable for any institution: libraries, museums, and more. People buy gum, and the money paid goes to charity.
