Walter Diemer |
AT A GLANCE:
In 1928, Walter Diemer was
working as an accountant for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company in
Philadelphia; what he wound up doing in his spare time was playing
around with new gum recipes. But this latest batch was less sticky than
regular chewing gum and it stretched more easily.
His bubble gum was so successful that it sold over a million and a half
dollars worth of gum in the first year.
