Nowadays, as soon as the flavor is gone, folks replace it with another piece of gum from a packet of many gums.  But, I remember the days when a piece of chicle-based gum with its unique resin-based flavor could be chewed for many days, and kept under the bed or the table-top for safe-keeping.  Now you know why there are pieces of gum under the table-tops, BTW.  Here is an interesting bid of history on Adams' gum:

Isn't that Turkish? Try again. For a language that is 70% Arabic and has never had its own script one foreign term is as good as another. But thanks for clarifying the origin of Aadaamss.
