Today I took a nap
beforewards i put the gum I was chewing on my hand
While asleep I tumbled and got gum all over my shirt
So I got curious and looked online to see what gum is made out of
Chewing gum is a type of confection traditionally made of chicle,
a natural latex product, or synthetic rubber known as polyisobutylene,
which is a non-vulcanisable form of the butyl rubber
(isoprene-isobutylene) used for inner tubes or to line tubeless tires.
For reasons of economy and quality, many modern chewing gums use rubber instead of chicle.
Chicle is nonetheless still the base of choice for
some regional markets, such as in Japan.
