Is bubblicious bubble gum Vegan?
Answers:
Most likely it's not even vegetarian. The first ingredient is sugar which is likely to have been processed thru bone charcoal. The glycerin is likely of animal origin also
The main problem with *any* type of chewing or bubble gum is the gum base itself. That's another standardly defined commodity type item where the maker isn't going to be able to tell you what ingredients are used in it. Here's what the VRG says about gum base:
"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."

Vegetarians do not eat fish. A fish eater is a Piscivore. Spread the correct word!

I would think so. As far as i know, it doesn't have any animal products in it. Chew away!
It would help if you gave us a list of the ingredients.... I'm willing to bet the sugar in it is not, however. And the glycerin.
usually the kind of gums that aren't are the ones with some sort of jelly-like substance in them.
