Bubblegum Day (U.S.) - First Friday of February


 

Bubblegum Day is celebrated every year on the first Friday of February. For most of us, bubblegum is somewhat a forbidden fruit. It is not essentially nutritious and parents are reluctant to give children bubblegum since it may prove detrimental to their dental health. Many schools also forbid it because gum in hair and under desks is gross. However, there are only very few of us who haven’t grown up enjoying a stick of bubblegum every once in a while. It is sweet, available in a myriad of flavours, and can be blown into bubbles! As we grow up, bubblegum is probably one of the few candies that we continue to enjoy — it’s not uncommon for adults to consume mints in the form of bubblegum, especially to combat bad breath or nicotine addiction.
