The tar from which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages.[1] The ancient Aztecs used chicle as a base for making a gum-like substance and to stick objects together in everyday use.<br /><br />Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was brought from Mexico by the former President, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, to New York, where he gave it to Thomas Adams for use as a rubber substitute. Chicle did not succeed as a replacement for rubber, but as a gum, which was cut into strips and marketed as Adams New York Chewing Gum in 1871.[5] Black Jack (1884) and Chiclets (1899), it soon dominated the market.[6] Synthetic gums were first introduced to the U.S. after chicle no longer satisfied the needs of making good chewing gum.[citation needed] The hydrocarbon polymers approved to be in chewing gum are styrene-butadiene rubber, isobutylene, isoprene copolymer, paraffin wax, and petroleum wax.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewing_gum
