    Also, chemically they are identical. Plastic made of a plant is still a plastic.

      Nah it’s just rubbery dried chicle sap, no chemical refining like with oil

      This is what it looks like

        I can almost taste the six seconds the flavor added to that will last!

        Five minutes of microplastics or a blink of flavor? Answer might just be no gum :(

          Yeah no idea why this is so hard to achieve but it’s a very noticeable difference.

        Yes really, still a polymer: it forms polyisoprene upon drying. You also find the stuff (synthesised from oil, yes, but chemically indistinguishable) in tires and condoms.

            Does not matter. All these natural rubbers are very similar in how they work, you can find a paper on the polymerization in chicle here if you don’t believe me.
