Frank Henry Fleer (1860—November 1, 1921) was an American confectioner who is thought to have developed the first bubble gum. Fleer founded the Frank H. Fleer Corporation in 1913 as a gum manufacturer. Fleer's original formulation, called Blibber-Blubber, was never marketed to the public. It was not until 1928 that Walter Diemer, an accountant in Fleer's company, was able to refine the formulation and became marketed by Fleer's company as Dubble Bubble.
