Best Answer

There is no purpose in Chewing Gum. It was originally designed as a candy that never left. Although it does help strengthen the jaw muscles, chewing gum has become one of the most favorite time pass for people of any age. It is one of the oldest known candies in the world, but yet, no one really knowns why it is so addicting.

We have gums because they hold our teeth to our jawbone so they don't fall out, and so they keep room for our adult teeth.
