Blibber-Blubber

Blibber-Blubber was the first bubble gum formulation, developed in 1906 by American confectioner Frank H. Fleer.[1] The gum was brittle and sticky, with it containing little cohesion; for these reasons, the gum was never marketed.[2][3] It also required vigorous rubbing with a solvent to remove from the face after the bubble had burst.[4][better source needed]
