It’s National Bubble Gum Day! Here are a couple facts about Bubble Gum:

1. Humans have been chewing gum for thousands of years. The oldest record of gum chewing began upward of 9,000 years ago with the ancient Mayans. This civilization enjoyed chewing on a gum-like substance called chicle, derived from sap of a sapodilla tree. The material was soft and stretchy and not too dissimilar in texture from the stuff we enjoy today.
2. Sugary bubble gum exists, because of a dentist. Monder gum like Bubba and Bazooka brands were invented by a dentist named William Finley Semple. The Mount Vernon, Ohio, native is popularly known as the first person to patent chewing gum. He hoped the sticky stuff would help people clean their teeth.
3. Bubble gum got its famous (pink) hue be being the only color available. But who knows? If Walter e. Diemer – who is also known as the creator of bubble gum – had a blue, or green dye on hand in 1928, the first bubble gum batch might have turned out very different from the iconic pink that we all know today. But as the story goes, Diemer only had red dye on hand which he diluted to pink. It was an upgrade from the original gum shade, which was an unappetizing grey color.

The average adult feels in good shape about nine times a month. Lack of sleep, heavy work loads and a lack of exercise means less than one-third of the year is spent feeling in tip-top condition – both mentally and physically.

Instead, the average adult will have three days a week where they feel tired, or lacking in energy and spend the day in a bad mood on two occasions. More than one-third of adults even have whole months go by where they don’t have a single day of feeling in “top form”.

It’s National Peanut Brittle Day! Here is a little history about peanut brittle:

Peanut brittle is beloved by many, both young and old. There’s something addicting in that salty-sweet crunch that keeps people coming back time and time again. But did you know that this popular treat may very well be an American invention? That’s right. And an American folk hero of yore may have helped garner its fame. In fact, peanut brittle’s place in American pop culture is certainly an established one.

There are almost as many stories about the creation of peanut brittle as there are recipes for how to make it. While numerous cultures have been whipping up nut and syrup creations for centuries, it’s very likely that the peanut brittle we know and love is American in origin.

Legend tells us that around the year 1890, a Southern woman created peanut brittle by mistake. Apparently she was making taffy when she added baking soda instead of cream of tartar. However, not wanting to waste the ingredients, she continued cooking it, resulting in a crunchy brittle instead of a chewy taffy.

Another version of the tale, also Southern in origin, credits fabled hero Tony Beaver with the birth of the brittle.
