Yes, there is. Bubblegum in Norwegian is "tyggegummi" which translates into chewing rubber or Chewing Gum. It's not rubber like the one you use to erase pencil markings with, but it's a stiff type of rubber that loosens in contact with the molecules in spit (that's why you can have liquids inside of gum). The "shell" on bubblegum is not made of rubber, though, but food-based material. The rubber is mixed in with other food-based materials that do not react with the "shell," but do react positively with your spit so that the taste that has been sprayed on the rubber or mixed with it doesn't taste funny.

No chewing gum doesn't contain any rubber. It is made from animal by-products.

No. Read the ingedients on the package. No rubber listed there. Many gums DO contain chicle, a rubbery plant product.
