WE SHOULD CELEBRATE ALL OCCASIONS EVEN BUBBLE GUM DAY..

Farzana Versey rhetorically remarked that yes we should celebrate all occasions including Bubble Gum day.
It just made me think about bubble gum. So i decided to celebrate the birthday of bubble gum.
My google search revealed a checkered past of the bubble gum. According to Wikipedia

Its original inventor Peter A Meijer invented in 1906. This gum was too sticky and broke too easily, so it was quickly abandoned. Accompanied by his assistant, Keegan C. Marr, Meijer strove to create a stronger, less sticky type of gum, but was forced to give up in 1908 and declared bankruptcy. Bubblegum was first introduced to the American public in 1911, but it was not commercially successful.[1]

Sorry no birthday for bubble gum.And sad business results for the inventor. I hope and wish he had at least celebrated birthday of bubble gum.His descendants don't have any royalties from bubble gum's birth.
Then after several incarnations non sticky bubble gum became bubble yum and several other brands.IT still is one of the most popular sweet in America.
Ah the purpose of Bubble gum and Bubble Yum is to chew gum and blow bubble's.Again according to Wikipedia
The 23 inch (58.24 cm) bubble blown by Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California in 1994 stills holds the Guinness World Record as the largest bubble blown (in 1979, she broke the then-existing 17 inch [43.18 cm] record).

sad to report again according to Wikipedia
on 1 October 2008, Williams died of an aneurysm at age 47.

Joyce Samuels of Louisville, Kentucky is the current Guinness World Record Holder for blowing the largest bubblegum bubble from the nose, 16 in (40.64 cm).

Now THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR FARZANA VERSEY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE ALL THE DAYS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RELATED TO BUBBLE GUM,BUBBLE YUM, THEIR INVENTORS .champion BUBBLE BLOWERS EVEN THROUGH NOSE.


Cheers have a bublicious day with a bubble yum and soap bubbles in the Indian summer.
Happy 4th of July . Americas Independence from England.How India and America are bound in birth.
celebrate.
