2 Chewing gum was invented in Sweden.
3 Chewing gum was found in the mouth of a nine thousand-year-old skeleton.
4 The first gum was made of tree sap and sugar
5 Babies are born wanting to chew gum
6 The ancient Greeks believed chewing gum was good for health.
7 South American Indians made the first packets of chewing gum.
8 Chewing gum was taken to North America by the English.
P Today on Worldly Wise, the world’s most common habit …. Yes, chewing gum. We chew 100,000 tons of it every year but how many of us actually know what it’s made of?
I Excuse me, I see you’re chewing gum …
A Yeah.
I Do you have any idea what it’s made of?
A Nah—no idea. Never thought about it.
I Do you have any idea what chewing gum is made of?
B … Uhh, no, not a clue.
I And do you have any idea who invented it?
A I don’t know!
B Me either!
I An American?
B Yeah—sure—I guess it was invented by an American, yeah.
P Well, it wasn’t! Believe it or not, it wasn’t an American who invented chewing gum. It was invented in Sweden. In Sweden?! I hear you say. But listen to Leanne Ward, a chewing gum expert.
LW The history of chewing goes back thousands of years. In Sweden in 1993, the skeleton of a teenager was found—he was 9,000 years old. And in his mouth was a gum made of tree sap and sweetened with honey—the first known chewing gum.
P It seems we’ve always chewed things with no real food value. Babies are born wanting to chew. Everything goes straight into their mouths. So why do we chew? Here’s Leanne again.
LW We chew to clean our teeth and freshen our breath but also because we just like chewing. The ancient Greeks chewed a gum called mastica, which is a type of tree sap. They thought it was good for their health and women really enjoyed chewing it as a way to sweeten their breath. Then in the first century AD we know that the Mayan Indians in Central America liked to chew a tree sap, called chiclay. They wrapped it in leaves and put it in their mouths so this was, if you like, the first pack of chewing gum. The American Indians also chewed tree sap—they gave it to the English settlers when they arrived, but it wasn’t until a few hundred years later, that it became really popular in America.

RICHERPICKINGS
ByNigelCope
1Who is the busiest retailer in Britain? Marks and Spencer? Sainsbury perhaps, or Tesco? Wrong on all three counts. The answer is Richer Sounds, a little-known, privately-owned, cut-price retailer of hi-fi equipment with 28 shops in the UK.
2In the Guinness Book of Records, Richer Sounds warrants an entry for the highest sales per square foot of any retailer in the UK — £17,000 — for its store on London Bridge Walk in the City Even taking an average across all 28 stores. Richer Sounds still clocks up £5,780 per square foot, ten times more than Marks and Spencer, six times the sales achieved by Sainsbury.
3It is profitable too. Sales are up and its operating margin has soared from 3.4 per cent in 1989 to almost thirteen per cent today Last year Richer Sounds made profits of more than £3m on sales of almost £48 m.
4The man behind Richer Sounds' success is founder, managing director and 98 per cent shareholder Julian Richer, a 39-year- old Londoner who, at the age of 14, used to buy and sell candles during the energy crisis of 1974. A likeable bloke who wears his blond hair in a ponytail and operates from a small converted Victorian vinegar factory in Bermondsey, south-east London, he raps out his sales pitch (what salespeople say to persuade you to buy sth).
5«Even when I was at school I wanted to go into business,» he says, «but my age was against me. Property was out – I wasn't old enough to sign a contract. Cars were out — I couldn't drive. So I turned to hi-fi, which was catching on at school. I bought a second-hand Bang and Olufsen for £10, did it up (to repair sth) and sold it for £22.» In 1979, at the age of 19, he opened his first shop — the one on London Bridge Walk.
6Since then little has changed. In simple terms, Richer Sounds sells discounted hi-fi from tiny basic shops with low overheads. Stock turnover is rapid and the company's smallness gives it flexibility to take advantage of deals offered by manufacturers on end-of-line or surplus equipment.
7The technique has enabled Richer Sounds to secure itself a lucrative niche in a £4 bn audiovisual market dominated by independents.
9Suppliersare keen to do business with this quirky (unusual) retailer.
12Good service is another priority. At Richer Sounds staff are trained not to be pushy (rude, bold). They all attend two training seminars a year at Richer's country house in Yorkshire, where more attention is paid to following the correct administrative procedures.
13First-time hi-fi buyers get a call to check that they have plugged in the equipment correctly. Customer receipts include a free phone number they can dial if they have a problem. Richer's own name and office number are supplied too.
14The emphasis is on fun. If it's raining, customers are given a free umbrella. Other seasonal gifts include mince pies at Christmas and hot-cross buns at Easter. «We have a laugh,» Richer says. «We don't take ourselves seriously, but we do take our customers seriously.»
