The makers were originally trying to make a new, cheaper alternative to rubber. It failed the rubber tests but he then had an idea, popped it into his mouth and gum was invented. Gum has been around forever. The gum was from the greeks and romans.

Chewing Gum was discovered, rather than invented. Ancient Greeks, Native American and many other cultures have chewed on the saps, tars and resins from trees.
