National Bubble Gum Day Friday Turns Chewing Gum Into Giving

🐊 KNGT 🐊 | Louisiana — Get ready, this Friday, February 6th, mark the date for National Bubble Gum Day according to National Day Calendar. Gum popping sounds will fill the air as people chew up this delicious treat.

Every year, the first Friday in February brings something fun, Bubble Gum Day. It centers on three ideas, really. One is just picking up some gum. Then comes the fun part, making bubbles. Money also gets passed forward, small gifts headed to local classrooms and aid efforts. People tend to smile when they see that mix.

The History of Bubble Gum

Surprisingly, bubble gum arrived earlier than many of us thought. Long before bright pink wraps or funny cartoons, our forefathers chewed tree sap, I am so glad that I wasnt born in the 1800s. Fast forward to 1928. A man named Walter Diemer came up with the correct mixture, that was chewy, held air and tasted delicious. His employer launched what we have all grown up onm its a household name, Dubble Bubble.

How do Schools Celebrate National Gum Day?

Maybe your school has a Bubble Gum Day, Most Schools around the country use this day a fun fundraising day. Teachers, this is a great way to donate some money to a charity. Its a day where if you donate a little pocket change you can chew as much of the sticky treat as your heart desires.

So get ready, have some gum and hopefully you dont chew to much and have to visit a Dentist next week with a new cavity, Enjoy Everybody!
