  Pop! Have you ever tried to blow the ultimate bubble with your gum? It isn’t always easy. But it is always fun! February 5th is Bubble Gum Day. Yet another reason to pop some of that pink sweet stuff into your mouth and get chewing. While you chew away, let Mr Orlando share this bonanza of bubble gum facts with you.     Bubble gum was invented in 1928 by a man named Walter Diemer. He worked at a chewing gum factory (as an accountant!) and was experimenting with all kinds of gum recipes. One day, Walter came up with a formula that wasn’t as sticky as regular gum.

History of Candy - Origin, History and Facts of Candy

Before the Chinese,  the Indians, the inhabitants of the Middle East, and then the Greeks and the Romans, they combined fruits and nuts with honey to produce sweets. Previous sweets are thought to have been used as a form of medicinal aid for stomach disorders. When culture continued to evolve, and when the refining of sugar was discovered, it became very large.   In the seventeenth century, as sugar became somewhat more affordable, people in England and America consumed sugar candies combined with fruit and nuts. Caramel and lollipops became known in the early 18th century. By the mid-1800s, more than 380 candy factories had been founded in the United States.

But have you ever wondered why this happens? What makes these tiny candies snap, crackle, and pop? The answer lies in a fascinating bit of food science, and today, we’re diving deep into the science behind Pop Rocks. The Accidental Invention of Pop Rocks Pop Rocks weren’t created on purpose! In 1956, a chemist named William A. Mitchell, who worked for General Foods, was actually trying to invent a new instant soda. His idea was to create a fizzy, carbonated tablet that would dissolve in water and turn into soda. However, during his experiments, he accidentally created a candy that held pockets of carbon dioxide gas. When he tasted it, he noticed the intense popping sensation—and just like that, Pop Rocks were born! However, they didn’t hit the market until the 1970s, when General Foods realized their potential a...
