A lot of hard work goes into creating the perfect piece of chewy.
Just ask Jesse Kiefer, who works as a Gumologist for Cadbury Schweppes.
"A piece of gum weighs just one to seven grams, but it's packed with a lot of different technology," he told Fortune.
"It has to deliver a burst of flavour, a lot of sweetness, and a lot of tartness if it's a fruit gum. "Our team figures out how to combine all those.
"Some days, I don't blow any bubbles. Other days I have to blow a lot. It depends on what stage we are in the project."

Kiefer has to get the flavour just right, which isn't easy with some combos like strawberry and lime - which he says don't complement each other that well.
Kiefer started out as a chemical engineer and was working mainly with detergent and soaps.
"But with gum there's just so many flavours! I find the job very stimulating. I've had only one cavity since I started here."
