History

The first Trident gum was manufactured in 1960. It was a sugared gum that was designed to combat tartar on the teeth. The "tri" in the name signifies three enzymes it contained that were said to dissolve the tartar, and the "dent" alerted consumers that it was designed for dental health. Trident Goes Sugar-FreeThe Trident recipe was converted to a sugar-free formula in 1964, replacing the sugar with saccharine. It was the only national brand of gum at the time that did not use sugar. This first incarnation of modern Trident was a pink gum shaped into small rectangular pieces. Over the years the formula was tweaked to include not only xylitol but sorbitol, Aspartame and other sugar substitutes.

The ancient Greeks chewed Mastiche, the ancient Mayans chewed chicle, and North American Indians chewed the sap from spruce trees, so a form of Chewing Gum has been around for a long time.

Thomas Adams is credited with inventing chewing gum from chicle in 1869.

However, John Curtis invented the first commercial chewing gum in 1848, called State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.

And William Semple became the first person to patent chewing gum on December 28, 1869.
