Bubble gum is made from a mix of flavors, can you guess what they are?

Apr 22, 2024, 8:49 AM | Updated: 10:52 am

The flavor of traditional pink bubble gum, while instantly recognizable, isn’t an easy one to pinpoint. Is it fruity? Spicy? A little minty sometimes? Or does it just taste like bubbleg um? Unlike other popular gum flavors, the label on a package of pink bubble gum rarely offers a clue to the flavors of bubblegum itself. In other countries, the flavor we call bubble gum is known by another name entirely — tutti fruity. Traditional bubble gum has a few parts to it: a sweet part, a fruity part, spice and citrus.

As for how these flavors are captured, they can be derived artificially or naturally. In other words, the flavor of traditional pink bubble gum will be slightly different from brand to brand, but it always is a bit fruity, a bit mysterious and a bit of a well-kept secret. Long story short, bubblegum tastes just like pink bubble gum.

The big question — how big a bubble can you make?
