Why does gum lose its flavor?!


Question:

Why does gum lose its flavor?

Lollypops retain their flavor indefinitely. Why can't a stick of gum?


Answers:

I agree with Amanda on this one. (Unless you mean it loses it's flavor while it's in the package.)

The biology dept at Duke University even has an exercise that can measure the percentage of sugar in gum when a fresh stick of gum's mass is compared to the mass of it's chewed-up and flavorless counterpart. Here's the link: http://www.biology.duke.edu/cibl/exercis...
