Where it comes from

Bubblegum flavour became a category in its own right after its invention in 1928, appearing in sweets that are not gum at all. The bubblegum pencil takes the most recognisable flavour in children's confectionery and puts it in the most popular format.

What it's made of

Sugar, glucose fructose syrup, wheat flour and potato starch with halal beef gelatine, extruded around a fondant, flavoured with the bubblegum blend and coloured with titanium dioxide and allura red.
