The Oldest Known Piece of Chewing Gum
Did you know that the oldest known piece of chewing gum is 9,000 years old? That's right, a group of archaeologists found three wads of chewed birch resin on the Swedish island of Orust. The gum was made from birch tar, which is a natural substance that has been used for centuries as a chewing gum.
The gum was found in a Stone Age settlement, and it still had tooth marks on it. This suggests that the gum was chewed by a Stone Age child. The gum is also remarkably well-preserved, and it still smells like birch tar.
This discovery is a fascinating glimpse into the past. It shows that people have been chewing gum for thousands of years, and it also provides insights into the diet and lifestyle of Stone Age people.
