Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for a multi-modality center-filled chewing gum. The individual gum pieces, which include the compositions of the present invention, may include a center-fill region surrounded by a gum region. The gum region may include a gum base. The individual gum pieces optionally may be further coated with an external coating layer. At least two components that create a duality, such as two sensates, may be incorporated into different regions of the gum.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a chewing or bubble gum composition which includes a center-fill composition and a gum region which includes a gum base surrounding the center-fill, wherein the gum region may include at least one modified release component, such as an encapsulated flavor or sweetener. The composition may also include a coating region which surrounds the gum region.

Abstract: A bath toy is described which consists of a small distinctive play shape suitable for play by children formed from a flexible sheet of polymer plastic material between 2 mm and 6 mm in thickness. The sheet material has a modulus of elasticity of less than 750 pounds per square inch. The weight of the play shape is less than the supporting effect of a thin layer of water spread evenly over its surface area.
