don't ya think that bone would be a bad thing to put in gum??? Bones are not chewy and you cannot blow bubbles with them.
Wow, how do you know bones isnt chewy? have you tried it? if not, don't judge ;)
the bubble stuff in gum is actually a resin from a tree called chicle, or a chemical compund called gum base, however, all refined sugars use bone in the refining process so if you are vegan you should avoid refined sugar in any form.

Hi.

"From the Vegetarian Resource Group:
“Most chewing gums innocuously list 'gum base' as one of their ingredients, masking the fact that petroleum, lanolin, glycerin, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, petroleum wax, stearic acid, and latex (a possible allergen) may be among the components. Because of standards of identity for items such as gum base and flavoring, manufacturers are not required to list everything in their product.
According to Dertoline, a French chemical manufacturer, their adhesive 'dercolytes' are used as a label and tape adhesive, as well as a chewing gum base. Many brands also list glycerin and glycerol as ingredients on the label. Both of them CAN be animal derived, so you would have to write to the manufacturer."

I am not sure about vegetarian, but the only gums that are vegan by PETA are super bubble and hubba bubba.
Chewing gum: Often contains glycerin (produced from animal fats), however Wrigley’s uses vegetable glycerin.
generally i'd say call the company you purchase and inquire
yes, white sugar in bubble gum is filtered through char (ground animal bones, and is the same stuff used in aquariums) Depending on the gum, other animal products can be present in flavorings (red food color is made from crushed beatles-google carmine)
