Making a raw chewing gum would probably be pretty easy to do, except for (maybe) having to figure out some kind of natural preservative for it. Chicle is the latex from the Central American sapodilla tree and was used by the ancient Mayans for chewing gum since the 2nd century. It is still used by chewing gum manufacturers today. For a long time, it was the main ingredient in modern chewing gum (do you remember "Chiclets" chewing gum?). Best wishes, -Ally Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/19/2006 08:56PM by Ally.
