Happy Birthday, Fleer Dubble Bubble!
According to the Mickey Mantle book I'm reading, bubblegum was first sold on this date in 1928.
From The Last Boy by Jane Leavy (pg. 314): "The protean pink goop that replaced tobacco in each pack of cards was invented by Walter Diemer, a twenty-three-year-old accountant for the Frank H. Fleer Company in 1928. He saw the future in translucent bubbles when he took five pounds of the pink glop to a Philadelphia grocery store on the day after Christmas and it sold out that afternoon. They called it Dubble Bubble."
