History

In
2000, the concept for BizKid was born when we heard of an
economically depressed chicle-producing community in Northern
Guatemala. Up until then, we had never really thought about how chewing
gum was made. When we realized its origins, we learned that prior to the
synthetic resins, chicle was the basis of the entire industry. Our goal was
to support chicle-harvesting by purchasing chicle. With this goal in mind,
BizKid was born, and with it our first and most popular product, the Zubble
Gum Making Kit.


Today,
BizKid provides a sustainable source of income for those
communities while simultaneously offering fun, educational, and
environmentally friendly activities for kids.

Our pioneering
Zubble Gum Making Kit has captivated the imaginations of
thousands of children while he
lping them to learn more about the world
around them. They are often used in classrooms where students are
studying rain
forest ecology, the history of food production, the chemistry
of cooking, and the interconnections in our global community.
