Yes. Yes, it does.

Yes, actually, it does. Chewing gum was invented when they were trying to find a way to Vulcanize latex. So it's basically treated latex with sweetener and flavoring.

No,from the shops.

my understanding is that it comes from dead peoples bones mixed with sugar and other sugary chemicals
