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.
Why Bubble gum is pink. In 1928, Walter E. Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in Philadelphia, was experimenting with new gum recipes. One recipe was found to be less sticky than regular chewing gum, and stretched more easily. This gum became highly successful and was eventually named by the president of Fleer as Dubble Bubble. The original bubble gum was pink because that was the only dye Diemer had on hand at the time and it was his favorite color. To test his recipe, Diemer took samples of the new gum to a local store where it sold out in a single day.
