Many times you must have seen people talking about walls. Some talk about the Great Wall of China, while some say that even walls have ears. We will tell you about such a very different wall in this article. There is a wall in Seattle, USA, on which millions of chewing gums are installed. Let's know the reason behind this.

The Gum Wall

  • Although there are many tourist destinations in America, but Gum Wall of Seattle holds a different craze among people. The chewing gums on this wall attract people towards them. This wall is built near the main entrance of Pike Place Market in Seattle.
  • As far as your eyes go on this 50 feet long and 8 feet high wall, you will see only and only chewing gum there. This is the reason why some people also know this wall by the name of Creative Wall.

Why was the Gum Wall built?

In 1993, people used to stick chewing gum on this wall to pass the time while waiting for a theatre show. In the beginning, the theatre staff tried their best to keep the wall clean, but a lot of people used to put chewing gum on the wall every day.

Many shapes are made on the gum wall

Everyone has a different method for applying gum to a gum wall. Someone sticks the gum to the already attached gum, while someone makes a shape out of it. Many people use chewing gum to write their own name or the letter of another person's name.

There is not only one gum wall

If you're thinking that the Gum Wall is the only one in Seattle and it's the most famous, you're wrong. There is also a bubblegum street in San Luis Obispo, California, which is very famous.
