In
1992, the concept for Verve was
born when we visited 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, Verve
was born, and with it our first and most popular product, the Make
Your Own Chewing Gum Kit.
Today,
Verve provides a sustainable source of income for
those communities while simultaneously offering fun, educational,
and environmentally friendly activities for kids.
Our pioneering Make Your Own Chewing
Gum Kit has captivated the imaginations of thousands of children
while helping them to learn more about the world around them. They
are often used in classrooms where students are studying rainforest
ecology, the history of food production, the chemistry of cooking,
and the interconnections in our global community.
