Chewing gum birthday

Today the birthday of chewing gum is celebrated. This is not just a "tasty" holiday, but an entire culture that came from America from an inventor. In 1848, the talented John Curtis, through an experiment conducted at home, created a product resembling candy. At first he used resin, adding light flavorings to it.

Later the product was improved, and the famous chewing gums "Sugar Cream", "Lulu Licorice" were born this way.

Yandex birthday

Today the Russian internet search system "Yandex" also celebrates its birthday. The company's history began in the late 80s, when the IT organization "Arcadia" started developing new search technologies. As a result of this activity, several programs were created. This search technology was called "Yandex". The name of the system was invented in 1993 by two classmates – I. Segalovich and A. Volozh. As a result, on September 23, 1997, Yandex was presented at the Softool IT exhibition in Moscow.
