By the early 20th century, Americans could not get enough of the new invention called chewing gum invented by Thomas Adams. Dubble (Double) Bubble is the world's first bubble gum. It and bubble gum for that cause, was invented in 1928 by a 23 year old Fleer Chewing Gum Company accountant named Walter E. Diemer (1904-1998). It was a lesser amount of stickiness than the standard chewing gum. However it still stretched more easily. Mr. Diemer, saw the potential and by using salt water taffy wrapping machine helped out more by wrapping one hundred pieces of the formation to test market in a neighborhood candy store. The gum ended up being sold out in less then a day. The gum was sold at a penny for a piece at the time.
