Bubblegum is proof that man is a fundamentally creative animal.
Mere chewing gum, which relies on an act of mindless repetition, was chemically reprogrammed specifically to encourage an act of creation. Blowing bubbles may not be painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but then neither is spraying graffiti or building sand castles or any of the other impulsive things that humans do to satisfy their urge simply to make something.
It’s 100 years since that tiny evolutionary leap. People have chewed gum for millennia: the Mayans chewed on the sap of sapota trees (called chicle, hence the Chiclets brand) and Native Americans chewed the resin from spruce trees. Commercial chewing gum became available in America in 1848, but it wasn’t until 1906 that Frank Fleer, of the Frank H Fleer Company, tried to formulate a gum for blowing bubbles. As pioneers often do, he failed, and Blibber-Blubber was never marketed.
However, in 1928 an employee of the Frank H Fleer Company had another go and this time succeeded with Dubble Bubble. There is some debate about who this was – history records it as the company’s accountant, Walter Diemer, while revisionists argue that it was the company president, Gilbert Mustin – but Dubble Bubble set the mould that most bubblegum still follows. It was pink (apparently the only food colouring Diemer/Mustin had) and it was fruity... (con't)

Happiness is a new idea t-shirth
"These collector’s editions perfectly recreate the original look and feel of the best-loved Peanuts books—their paper, their ink, even their lamination. And of course, the heartwarming content that charmed the world, sold millions, and launched the career of Charles M. Schulz remains untouched. On every spread there’s a tiny tidbit of wisdom from one of the gang, along with one of Schulz’s irresistible drawings. It’s a trip down memory lane that every Peanuts fan will cherish."

TURNING POINTS
In life, like in stories, there’s a moment where everything changes. The moment in which nothing is as it was. The precise point where just a short time you were climbing and then suddenly you’re moving downward. And so characters, after beginnings we have now arrived at the Turning Point.
Loves. Choices. Departures. Deaths. Catastrophes. Mistakes. Crazy purchases. Sudden decisions. Escapes. Predicaments. Unexpected turns of events. Details that need changing. Unexpected forks in the road. We have understood that there is no way to keep things as they are: in the best (or worst) case they move round so that they come back to the departure point but with a higher odometer….
