Walter E. Diemer; Inventor of Bubble Gum. Walter E. Diemer, who accidentally invented bubble gum while testing recipes in 1928, is dead at 93. Diemer's invention, developed when he was a 23-year-old accountant for a chewing gum company, became the bane of parents throughout the world, but remains the pleasure of countless youngsters--and some adults.
Let's go back to 1928 when one Walter Diemer, an accountant working for the Fleer Chewing Gum Co., in Philidelphia figured out how to create a gum strong enough and elastic enough to stretch when filled with air. He used the only food dye on hand for the color - pink. To this day 'classic' bubble gum is pink. Unfortunately he never revealed the flavor ingredients, which is not surprising because these formulas are regarded as trade secrets, much like the secret flavor component of Coca Cola's No. 7X.
