Chew on This
Susan Devins
Paperback
(Somerville, Nov. 9, 1998)
All kids chew gum -- but how many know that gum once came from the rainforest? Chew On This! is the only book about the history and science of chewing gum that includes all the ingredients kids need to make their very own brand! Find out who turned a single stick of gum into a national marketing craze! Try some gum experiments that will really "blow" your mind! Then use the microwavable container to mix up a batch of your own favorite chewing-gum; using gum base, sugar, corn syrup, flavorings, and a stir stick. You'll get enough gum to make 50 pieces -- plus tips on polite gum-chewing and how to dispose of gum (no, not under the desk or behind you ear!) when you're through.
