How to blow bubbles with bubble gum like a professional

By: Christopher Pratt

Chewing gum has been a favorite past time since the time of the ancient Greeks; many cultures have chewed gum-like substances, mostly made from natural substances such as grasses, plants, and resins. The first person to patent chewing gum was William Semple, on December 28, 1869, but it is Susan Montgomery Williams who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest bubble gum bubble blown, at 23 inches in diameter.

The most popular brands are usually great for those who chew gum for casual reasons but terrible for those who want blow the largest bubble possible. Soft, flavorful, chewable and long lasting gum such as Bubble Yum and Bubbicilious are to be avoided by serious bubble gum blowers. Instead, they should be looking for gum that contain less sugar such as Double Bubble or Bazooka. These less popular brands may be harder to masticate, but easier to blow larger 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.

The two things you need to control are the wind and temperature of where you blow your bubble. Too cold, your bubble will become brittle. Too warm, the bubble will flat out half way. Therefore, especially for beginners, blow your bubbles indoor first. Adjust your surrounding wind and temperature to avoid your bubble from popping too soon.

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.

In order to blow biggest bubble ever, you have to exhale slowly. Use steady and even breaths to stretch and expand your gum into a bubble. You have to be careful in keeping the pressure on the gum constant so that the bubble will not sag prematurely. To avoid yourself from blowing too hard and spoil your hard work, avoid tightening your lips around the bubble. Fill your bubble with more air as you keep your mouth in a big “O” shape.

The above tips are guidelines to blowing championship bubbles. Not only do you need to practice a lot to get it right, you also need a strong jaw, tongue and diaphragm to succeed. Either practice on your own or have a friendly competition with your friends to see who can blow the biggest bubble. No matter what, the most important thing is to have fun!
