The gum was the "product" that you were buying.

The cards were the inserts.

For idiots like us who put sets together, it was an ingenious way to sell more gum, even if you didn't like to blow bubbles.

Can you think of a better way to sell 407 pieces of gum instead of just a few? (1952 Topps) 1 cent packs -- Bingo
