Double Gum Research Paper

Gum!! I would have to say that gum is the single most awesome invention in the world. I say this mainly because I would have never thought that something could be made to where it was edible; that could start as a solid piece of perfection, and then gradually transform its self into a stretchy, balloon blowing, way too much fun to play with when you are done piece of gum.
