Chewing gum is immensely popular, but where does it come from? When asked the question, I assumed it came from a tree. Well, it used to, but not anymore. The truth will scare you.
In this video, we adventure deep in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, to learn the truth, and see first hand a dying tradition.

That man was very poetic like me, and I know what it is like to have sought happiness in an even dangerous way. These plants look like bromeliads.

You should visit the khoi san of Namibia
It's nice to see someone who's so respectful and nice to people. Most travel-youtubers are treating locals like props, not people and it's really uncomfortable to watch.

Muyo has such good energy, to go through a hard break-up and then alcohol and drugs, only to come out of it so positive about love is really awesome to see. Dude has a great laugh too!
Never realized till now that my favorite American gum brand, Chiclets, was derived from the Aztec Mexican word chicle! And that laugh!
A lot of people forget that México is also part of the Caribbean with Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Barbados, Jamaica and ETC. The distance between Mexico & Cuba is like driving from LA to San Diego. they almost touch each other. The Mexican states of Quintana Roo & Yucatan are part of the Caribbean

How about Key West?

@@jasonlo8780 Key West is actually not part of the Caribbean, because it doesn't touch the Caribbean Sea. I can actually see the difference between Key West & the Caribbean. Look at pictures of Key West and then look at pictures of Isla Cozumel, Mexico. Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Las Coloradas, Mexico & Celestun Mexico.

You never disappoint man! Keep it up brother!
My father worked for a company that owned Chiclets Adams back in the 80/90's. He did tell us about how it used to be a natural product (as shown). My brother and I were early "test subjects" (OG alpha taste testers) for a new chewing gum concept they were developing back in the mid 80's. My father would bring handmade samples from the lab and we'd chew, rate, cleanse palate, chew again, etc. The 'gum' wasn't colored yet and it was sort of a light grey from what I remember. My favorite were the mini-Chiclets but I had so much gum growing up that I totally stopped chewing gum.
Really cool episode dude! 🙌👌
Beerless and Bar
Loved this ! Thanks fpr sharing truth and showing the real!❤
Happy Canada day Mike!
Love the info about the environment and plant id 👍🌵🌱

17:50.. dont you mean... solid as a rock.? hahaha Thanks again for an awsome video.!
Clog your little straw. That made Mr laugh. 😂😂😂
This man is really fearless, I was scared something would snatch him from that kayak💯😂
Didn't know that, and i'm now done with chewing gum...😳
I swear that laugh got me thinking "andele andele eeba eeba" Speedy Gonzales
Awesome content ❤
Literally was chewing gum yesterday thanks for your informative information outstanding videos
Knowing you are from New Brunswick I was super impressed that you knew Spanish so well since we have no exposure to it here at all. I’m guessing you know French too.
Yeah I knew commercial gum is more or less plastic but I also know that there are a few Scandinavia companies who make gum from the gum tree so it's definitely coming back.
Such a sweet, loving, lovely and amazing person he is
learned about these in belize pretty dang cool
Dang Mike got a new editor or is letting or telling g his editor to switch it up. Love the old school vlog vibe definitely needs to come back!
I appreciate you also being a biologist!
Homemade gafs! That is so cool!
Very interesting video 📸
thanks for info
I had just hit a blunt n I watched this, I got a trip of my life in spookiest forest segment. Mike u r a legend, keep it up my G..
Muyo's laugh is the quintessence of Mexico.
“I want you to sleep in my bed and dream in my arms “ Aww🥲🥹
32:11 Asked to leave for 15-30 min for them to add the secret ingredient. What if they have been pranking the entire world since 1850. 😳
Thank You Man, for put cientific name to the plants and animals 🤙
17:33 that plant that _shot to the knee_ seemed a lot like the *black poisonwood* from 9:53
Interresante vídeo
11:41 BEST PART SO FAR... LOVELY PLANTS
He gonna be soo happy watching himself back 😂😂
This is incredible
Ok, not gonna chew gum anymore. Thanks for the tips Oh and great adventure!
4:15 bro been holding that laugh since 1990
hey, I've been watching you for a bit. and was wandering if you could gather some music from a lot of different African cultures. i cant help to get entranced by there music (especially the party music), and i think we all could use experiencing that kind of music
Watching and chewing peacefully until I'm not...
Would be a sick to get the scaring of the tree tattooed up your leg or arm and up your back
No Mike, bring that tradition to life by spreading the word. Don't let her die, how much I would like to help you 🤙
12:06 Pretty sure thats a Peniocereus. Related but not really dragonfruit
so did you like it? whats it taste like?
Stay safe god bless

I don’t trust much nowadays so not surprised about the plastic bag and tire rubber gum, that’s why I chew honey comb from my bees nice sweet treat and I cook the wax after to filter it into clean beeswax bricks to make chapstick and soap/candles
21:33: ahh yes, the tasteful eight
I love your videos. My dad's favorite gum was Chicklets. Now knowing what gum is made from I will spread the word. I don't chew gum. Disgusting.
i did not know there were gum threes. i always thouth we chewing rubber. So i was a little right. haha
17:33 isn't that the poison plant that causes burns lol
Nice ka Pre..
What a Place, who else thinks shooting a movie like Wrong Turn in the middle of that forest and waters would be a great idea?
23:00 honestly not that surprised everything that doesnt come natural is very much plastic, and tires. I would love to try actual gum though. it would probably save our tree problem, since you'd have to grow them to get the gum,
Omg lemme grab something to eat
ur da best man....
I would watch you all do the bare minimum. Is there a way to see everything (or almost everything)? Like the parts that KZread doesn’t “see as interesting “?
Damn. Had no idea. Will stop, for sure
The only thing that sucks about the South is the summer. Before the days of AC it was unbearable.
I just spit out my gum thanks a lot 😂
Juicy Fruit gum flavor is Jackfruit.
I'm pretty sure we all knew this one was a lie!??!? Of course we're chewing plastic!
These people are the sweetest, genuine people on earth. Those that may not have much material things or fancy assets. Sad most don't see thier value. But we celebrate sickos for thier "talent" lol.
what about aspartam inside of chewqing gum?
Maaaan, that edit...☝️
My dirty mind be like: this guy looks like Johnny Sins🤣
This men living his life🥺🤍✨
god speaks to me , when he said he lost his woman , i cried at his face changing when he talked about it
I know you were joking, but it still sounded ironic to hear u say you'd better get out of that cork swamp before dark because a Mayan ghost is gonna eat your soul...far but not so fearless here haha Bless up Respect all the same
Hi sir from northeast
26:18 What was that!!
so its plastic bag gum vs soapy sap?
how is old is his mom?
It pulled every speck of dirt off that concrete. I'll just stick to regular old unhealthy modern gum.
protect that man at all cost
yo fearless i want to see your scar from the mursi tribe
Good stuff! Commenting for the algo.
Chicle tree!!!
Bro, you meet the raddest people!
Is my music good ? BE HONEST
Still waiting for skeeters trip to africa
most modern chewing gum is synthetic, nothing but chemicals.
I like knew from logic and how mas production works (they'd switch it to something plastic that's cheaper or more easily mass produced) but never..knew; If that makes sense lol. I was aware that it originally came from a tree though from the Native Americans.
Personally I don't mind a bit of plastic.
... wonder what ingredient they add in that secret 15 minutes ...
