What do you think this is? Where does it come from?
This is chicle, at one time the main ingredient in chewing gum! Chicle gum has been chewed by humans since the stone age, and comes from the sapodilla tree.
Who might use it?
Technically, since the 1960s the modern chewing gum you buy in stores has been made of a synthetic chicle substitute, but that doesn't mean nobody chews the good old-fashioned stuff anymore. Some small companies still use the natural version, though it may be harder to find than the more popular updated versions.
