Chewing gum has become a timeless symbol of American culture, with its roots dating back to the early 1900s.

The Post Alley Gum Wall itself is an intriguing sight, covered from top to bottom with colorful wads of chewed gum left by visitors over the years. It stands as a testament to both creativity and indulgence. Similarly, graffiti at Julia's house in Verona, Italy showcases how even ancient landmarks can be transformed into modern art pieces through the simple act of sticking chewed gum onto their walls. Gumballs have also played a significant role in our love affair with chewing gum.

From Wrigley's Spearmint Pepsin Gum advertisement dating back to 1913 to Primleys California Fruit chewing gum advert from 1894 - they remind us that this sweet pastime has been enjoyed for generations. One cannot forget Edward stripping Emma of her means depicted through an engraving; it serves as a reminder that while chewing gum may seem innocent and carefree on the surface, it can also carry deeper meanings and symbolism within artistic expressions.
