Who was the first people to create ice cream and bubble gum?

I'm just wondering, because bubble gum and ice cream rock!Who was the first people to create ice cream and bubble gum?
Legend has it that the Roman emperor, Nero, is credited as the first person to make ice cream. Nero commanded slaves to bring snow down from the mountains, which was then used to freeze the flavored cream mixture. The secret was to lower the freezing point of snow in order to freeze the cream. How? The scientific secret is SALT! Here鈥檚 a scientific recipe that you can use at home to make your own ice cream... even using snow like the Romans!











1848 John Curtis made and sold the first commercial chewing gum called Maine Pure Spruce Gum.


1850,Curtis started selling flavored paraffin gums becoming more popular than spruce gums.


1869 Patent # 98,304 issued December 28 to William Finley Semple for rubber based chewing gum


1850 Mexican General Santa Anna introduces chicle to Thomas Adams


1870 Adams and his sons opened the first chewing gum factory making Adams New York No. 1.


1970 Patent # 107,883 issued September 27 to Weaton W. Kilbourn for a tobacco substitute gum.


1871 Patent # 111,798 issued February 14 to Thomas Adams for a process to manufacture gum


1871 Adams created a licorice-flavored gum called Black Jack.. The first flavored gum


1880 John Colgan invented a way to make chewing gum taste better for a longer period of time


1888 Adams' chewing gum called Tutti-Frutti became the first chew to be sold in a vending machine


1891 Wrigley Chewing Gum founded by William Wrigley Jr..


1899 Adams and Sons merged with 6 other manufacturers and renamed the American Chicle Co.


1906 Frank Fleer invented the first bubble gum called Blibber-Blubber gum. However, was never sold.


1914 William Wrigley, Jr. and Henry Fleer create the Wrigley Doublemint brand


1928 Walter Diemer invents Double Bubble from the original Frank Fleer formula


Many historians credit William Finley Semple with receiving the first patent in the United States for chewing gum on December 28, 1869. This claim is false, as Toledo, Ohio, resident Amos Tyler patented chewing gum on July 27, 1869.
