Your description is inaccurate -- there is actually a use for the bubblegum. It's used in the Vim! Quartz crafting recipe. That said, an excellent idea nonetheless.
I said that there are virtually no other uses for bubblegum, which means almost/nearly no other uses. The only other one is Vim! Quartz as you mentioned, which won't be available to those who haven't purchased the DLC. But I'm glad to see someone is familiar with Vim! Quartz, which is fairly obscure by any measure.
The plugin file is already ESL-flagged, so it will not take up an ESP spot in your load order.
I avoid actual ESL files (.esl) as they are technically ESL-flagged masters (ESM), so you have little to no control over their position in your load order.

...but no, since the resulting item is of type MISC (miscellaneous item) and not an Ingestible, you cannot consume it.
