What is sticky-tac made out of anyway?

I was talking with my sister and her boyfriend about what could possibly be the ingredients for “sticky-tac” that blue or white gummy substance you can use to hang posters on the wall without putting holes through them (never mind the oil spots that appear from extended use). Joel mentioned that the quality of the stick-tac has gone downhill, and more is required to achieve the same stickiness. I figured they must have started using Chinese wheat gluten, and that’s why it’s thinner now. He countered with the idea that the children in China chewing the blue and white gum have been having quality control issues.

So there you have it, sticky-tac is probably made of months old, sweatshop, chewed kids gum with poison wheat gluten added afterwards (not before, or the kids die).
