What was the popular chewing gum named for a game of chance?
Believe it or not, chewing gum in various forms has existed since at least the Neolithic period. 5,000 year old chewing gum with tooth imprints, made of birch bark tar, has been found in Finland. The bark tar of which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages. The ancient Mayans used chicle as a base for making a gum-like substance. Women in particular used this gum as a mouth freshener. Also, the Florentine Codex refers to the use of chicle by women. Forms of chewing gums were also used in Ancient Greece. The Greeks chewed mastic gum, made from the resin of the mastic tree. Many other cultures have chewed gum-like substances made from plants, grasses, and resins. The American Indians chewed resin made from the sap of spruce trees. The New England settlers picked up this practice, and in the early 1880s attempts were made to commercially market spruce gum. Around 1850 a gum made from paraffin wax was developed and soon exceeded the spruce gum in popularity. Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was imported from Mexico for use as a rubber substitute. Chicle did not succeed as a replacement for rubber, but as a gum it soon dominated the market. Chicle gum, and gum made from similar latexes, had a smoother and softer texture and held flavor better. In 1848, John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum. William Semple filed the first patent on chewing gum on December 28, 1869.

How did chewing gum get spead around the world
If you mean do you have to spit out gum after 15 minutes, then the answer is no. I am currently chewing gum and I have been chewing on it for hours.

Well, if you drink water or something while your chewing it then the water will juice the flavor. That's how you make gum last long. :)
yes it can . :)
Chewing gum in various forms has been around for thousands of years, so at least a few of the earliest settlers probably chewed gum. But, widespread use of chewing gum by modern civilization came about in the early 1800s when English settlements adopted the practice from American Indians. Chewing gum as we know it today was invented in the 1850s by Thomas Adams.
