What was the first flavor of gum invented?

Answer 1

The first flavored Chewing Gum was Black Jack - a licorice flavor.

Answer 2

In the early 1880s, two brothers, Henry and Frank Fleer, began experimenting with chicle, the sticky substance found inside a sapodilla tree. Henry Fleer covered the tasteless chicle with a sugary white coating and named his invention "Chiclets."

Answer 3

The first gum was made by the ancient Greeks from a tree called the Mastic tree and the Mayans used the Sapodilla Tree. Native Americans used the Spruce Tree and that seems to be the primary flavor until 1888 when Tutti Frutti was made by Thomas Adams. In 1899 Dentyn gum was sold and it wasn't until 1906 that bubble gum came out. Wrigley's gum dates from 1914.
