A gummy bear is a small, chewy candy shaped like a bear. It is made primarily from sugar, gelatin, and flavorings, giving it a soft texture and fruity taste. Gummy bears come in various colors and flavors, such as raspberry, orange, and lemon, making them popular among both children and adults. Invented in Germany in the early 1920s by Hans Riegel, gummy bears have become a global favorite. They are often sold in bulk and are commonly used in party favors, snacks, and desserts. Their playful shape and vibrant colors contribute to their widespread appeal.
