I'm thinking it definitely depends on what kind of gum it is. I'd consider Bazooka and Double Bubble more of a candy just because of the high sugar. Like if the kids wanted a piece of candy for dessert, those would count as candy. But if was Orbit or Trident, for example, those would not be considered candy.

To me, gum is candy. It is sold next to the licorice and the chocolate bars in the grocery store.

In North America, candy is a broad category that includes candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows, and more.

There is no mention of bubble/chewing gum in any of the 'candy' definition sites I found.

So I am definitely going to say no its not candy

Is gum candy?
“ It's candy. If you pick up a bag of swedish fish they probably share 75% of the ingredients found in a pack of Bubble Yum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy. It says gumdrops, but not gum. but I also don't think chocolate bars are candy either--they are bars.

The gums mentioned are candy. I agree there are some that could be breath treatments or even some that are supposed to be good for teeth but those 2 are candy.

Gum is gum and candy is candy and never the twain shall meet.

You can't blow bubbles with a Snickers Bar

I don't know who I am siding with here Rob, but who ever said that Double Bubble and Bazooka is candy is absolutely correct. It's chock FULL of sugar!

Although, I would classify Trident sugarless with xylitol as non-candy.

Clear as mud!
