description: Gum. It's been around for centuries; from the ancient Greeks to the American Indians everyone's chewed it. But the best kind of gum; bubble gum! wasn't invented until 1928 when an enterprising young accountant at Fleer Gum and Candy used his spare time to experiment with different recipes. Bubble-blowing kids everywhere will be delighted with Megan McCarthy's entertaining pictures and engaging fun facts as they learn the history behind the pink perfection of Dubble Bubble.
