The bubblegum Diemer created was a dreary gray color, and he knew no child would want to chew on something with such an unappealing hue. Diemer didn’t set out to turn his concoction pink.

Unlike other popular gum flavors (e.g. spearmint, cinnamon, tropical fruit, etc.), the label on a package of pink bubblegum rarely offers a clue to the flavors of bubblegum itself.

In other words, the flavor of traditional pink bubblegum will be slightly different from brand to brand, but it is always a bit fruity, a bit mysterious, and a bit of a well-kept industry secret.
