List of chewing gum brands

Chewing gum is a type of gum traditionally made of chicle, a natural latex product, or synthetic rubber known as polyisobutylene, which is a non-vulcanisable form of the common synthetic rubber polybutadiene. For economical and quality reasons, many modern chewing gums use rubber instead of chicle. Chewing gum is used as a novel delivery system for pharmaceuticals because of its direct contact with the oral mucosa. This is a list of notable brands of chewing gum.
