The sources used to make gum resulted in minty and sweet chewable globs of wax or sap resin that satisfied the human urge to gnaw... They were unlikely to produce glossy, pink bubbles worthy of siblings' jealousy. However, it was still a possibility that getting up with it stuck in your hair.
Various forms of chewing gum have existed since the Neolithic period.
