Gum gets hard over time due to the evaporation of moisture and the breakdown of its ingredients. When chewed, saliva interacts with the gum, initially softening it, but as it is exposed to air and loses moisture, it becomes dry and hard. Additionally, the sweeteners and flavorings in gum can also degrade, contributing to a less appealing texture and taste.
