In honour of Bubble Gum Day, here is today's bubbly fun fact for you!
Did you know that...
"In January of 1992, chewing gum was banned in Signapore to help uphold the country’s reputation for being pristine, and to help alleviate major issues with chewing gum being stuck on the door sensors and cracks on trains, which caused many issues in functioning and service. In March of 2004, however, they lifted the ban so that gums with a medical or therapeutic benefit were allowed–i.e. sugar-free gums for dental care or nicotine gums for smoking cessation." (Guy, 2020)
