Secrets Revealed: How to Blow Championship Bubbles with Bubble Gum

The ancient Greeks were the first to chew gum. It was a popular past time for them. Other cultures chew substances made from grasses, plants and resins, instead. On December 28, 1869, William Semple patented the art of chewing gum for the first time in history, but it is Susan Montgomery Williams who blew the largest bubble gum at 23 inches in diameter, as documented in the Guinness World Record.

The most popular brands are not always the best for blowing bubbles. Companies like Bubble Yum and Bubbicilious have created soft, easy to chew, full of flavor, long lasting gum; great for those that want to chew gum, bad for those that want to blow bubbles. If you want to blow championship bubbles, go with a less popular brand like Double Bubble or Bazooka. They contain less sugar and are harder to chew, but offer superior strength for bubbles.

You might think that more gum means more bubble. You could not be more wrong. To go for the world record, you have a limit of three pieces of gum only. If you blow a bubble and find that there is still gum in your mouth, just work on it more, not more gum.

To beat against the odds of blowing your gum bubbles to their full potential, try to practice indoors where it is easier to manage the wind and temperature. These two factors are crucial to your success. Too cold, the skin of your bubble will get thin and breaks easily; too hot, your bubble will collapse prematurely.

Unfortunately, the sugar and artificial flavors in all types of gum are not favorable for blowing record size bubbles. First you have to chew your gum until the sugar and artificial flavoring are almost gone. This action will actually strengthen your bubble and you get to feel the consistency of your gum as you chew along. At the right consistency, you can push your tongue through the gum to fill it with air and blow a bubble. Just be careful not to thrust too hard and make a hole. After you have blown a bubble, the gum cools and becomes less malleable. Chew it again to warm up the gum.

Be careful as you gradually blow your bubble up. Slow breaths give your gum time to stretch and grow while even breaths keep the pressure distributed equally to prevent your bubble from flopping. To blow the biggest bubble possible, do not to tighten your lips as if you were sucking on a lemon. That you make you blow harder subconsciously and ruin your best efforts. Remember to your lips open so that you can puff through a larger hole.

Practice, practice, practice! Blowing championship bubbles will require not only practice but a strong jaw, tongue, and diaphragm. Try different combinations of the tips above to find the perfect conditions for blowing the biggest bubbles possible. Practice and compete with your friends to see who can blow the biggest bubble, and remember the most important tip: Have Fun!
