: : Matt: Let's not talk about Soviet Free Enterprise (E... hehe) until they get the hang of it first. They're still a bit off balance on the supply and demand thing.
: Then can we talk about gum?
Gum is a resin from rubber trees. The first chewing gum was "invented" when a peddler, selling sealing rubber, decided to stick some of the sealing rubber in his mouth. (Was this guy smart, or what?) The guy thought it wasn't all that bad, but needed flavor. Following in the footsteps of the word's first soda... chewing gum came in a variety of flavors... wood, steak, vegi... They eventually settled on the flavors you find today...
