In 1928, Walter Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in Philadelphia, experiemented with new gum recipes. One recipe, based on a formula for a chewing gum called "Blibber Blubber",; was less sticky than regular chewing gum and stretched more easily. This gum became highly successful and was eventually named by the president of Fleer as Dubble Bubble because of its stretchy texture. Bubble gum is historically pink because Diemer added pink dye to his original recipe which otherwise produced a dingy gray colored gum. Dubble Bubble was the dominant brand of bubble gum until after WWII, when Bazooka bubble gum entered the market. Prior to 1970, bubble gum tended to stick to one's face. In the 1970s, synthetic bubble was created which would almost never stick as a bubble popped. The first synthetic gym brands in the US were Hubba Bubba and Bubble Yum.
