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.
The Mayans called the chewy chicle cha âthe sound it made when chomped. The Name Game The first time you could buy chewing gum made in the United States was in 1848. It was called State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum. Black Jack was the first flavored gum. It tasted like licorice. The first candy-coated gum was called Chiclets (made with chicle, of course). Blibber-Blubber was the first bubble gum made, but was never sold because it was too sticky. Dubble Bubble came next and was a big hit. What a Stretch What makes gum so.
