When you put gum in your mouth, your taste-buds sense the flavour and start producing saliva. This is normal with any food, as the saliva makes the food slide down your oesophagus easier. The gum itself is pretty much flavoured rubber, it isn't meant to dissolve. Rubber doesn't dissolve unless you light it on fire. But I doubt you'd be lighting your mouth on fire just to see.
The chewing, the saliva and the flexibility of the gum. The chewing squishes the gum around, the saliva makes it wet and release more flavour and the flexibility of the gum just makes it fun to chew.
In other words...you're chewing flavoured rubber. That's why you shouldn't swallow it either. It's not meant to dissolve quickly. So it just sits in your stomache and makes it harder for you to go poopies.
