This is the true history of bubble gum and Santa Anna?
Question:
After being exiled from Mexico, he introduced Thomas Adams Sr. to Chicle which is a substance derived from Sapota or Saodilla trees. Adams wanted to use the elastic ingredient in experiments to find ways to make more economical car tires.
Although he never was able to produce an economical tire substitute, in the end, he created one, if not the, first mass marketed chewing gums called Adams New York Chewing Gum. The first patent for chewing gum was awarded in 1869 although Adams did not create the first mass production chewing gum assembly line until 1871.
funny, that it was all because Santa Anna claimed he had a replacement for rubber. and this NYC guy wanted to use it for tires.
Answer:
Dear friend
You have told us the whole story. Now, please, what do you expect us to answer about ?!
Your question being?
So, what's the question?
BTW. You state, "Adams wanted to use the elastic ingredient in experiments to find ways to make more economical car tires." Nope, not quite. Actually, Santa Anna hired New York inventor Thomas Adams to develop a new form of rubber using chicle. Chicle is the milky latex of the tropical Sapodilla tree (Manilkara zapota van Royen) that is native to northern Brazil, Mesoamerica, and parts of Mexico.
You also stated, This is the true history of bubble gum and Santa Anna? Not hardly. Modern chewing gum appeared in 1869 and vehicle tires came later in the 1880's, made of vulcanized rubber invented by Goodyear.
Another of your statements, This is the true history of bubble gum and Santa Anna. Not true. Adams invented modern chewing gum, not bubble gum.
Bubble gum was invented in 1928 by Walter Diemer, a cost analyst for the Fleer Company. Many people had tried for years to develop a gum that could be blown into bubbles, but it was Mr. Diemer, a young man who knew nothing about chemistry, who found the right combination of ingredients and created a gum that was strong enough and elastic enough to stretch when filled with air.
