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 and bouncy texture. Gummy bears come in various colors and flavors, such as raspberry, orange, and lemon. They are popular among children and adults alike and are often enjoyed as a sweet treat or used in baking and desserts. The original gummy bear was created in Germany by the candy company Haribo in the early 1920s. Since then, gummy bears have become a global phenomenon, inspiring a wide range of similar gummy candies, including gummy worms and gummy vitamins. Their fun shape and variety of flavors make them a favorite snack for many.
