That was the first step in creating the world's first modern chewing gum! The first mass marketed chewing gum was called Adams New York Chewing Gum.In the 1870s，Adams & Sons sold “Sour Orange” flavored gum as an afterdinner candy.In 1871 Thomas Adams patented a machine for the manufacture of gum.However，all these kinds of gum had one big problem: they could not hold flavor.The problem with holding flavor was not fixed until 1880，when William White combined sugar and corn syrup with chicle.For better taste he added peppermint extract (薄荷精)．He found out that peppermint stayed in the gum during chewing much longer than other flavors.He called his first peppermint flavored gum Yucatan gum.In 1888，Thomas Adams' chewing gum，TuttiFrutti，was the first chewing gum that was sold from a vending machine(自动贩卖机)．【语篇解读】本文介绍了“口香糖”的发明和发展历史。
