Chewing gum is a popular food rich in sugar which is originally made from chicle, which is a natural gum from Manilkara chicle, which is a tropical evergreen tree native to central America. it grows in rainforrests here because the climate and rain fall makes the perfect conditions for it to grow. Chicle is not found growing in many other places. Wrigley company still a prominent user of this material, today there are only a few companies that still make chewing gum from natural chicle. This is because by the 1960s chicle was replaced butadiene-based synthetic rubber, which was cheaper to manufacture.
