Best Answer

The ancient Greeks chewed Mastiche, the ancient Mayans chewed chicle, and North American Indians chewed the sap from spruce trees.

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.

Walter Diemer invented the first commercially sold bubble gum in 1928 based on a recipe originally developed by Frank Henry Fleer.

While ancient people could technically be credited with the invention of chewing gum, the gum that we enjoy today was invented by Thomas Adams in 1869.
