An Interesting Fact About Gummies

One fascinating fact about gummies is their origin story, which dates back to the early 20th century in Germany. A confectioner named Hans Riegel, Sr., who founded Haribo in 1920, invented the first gummy candy in the shape of dancing bears. These candies, originally called “Dancing Bear Treats,” evolved into the iconic Goldbears we know today. Made from a mixture of sugar, gelatin, glucose syrup, and flavorings, these chewy treats were designed to be longer-lasting than chocolate in the temperamental European weather and quickly gained popularity, setting the foundation for the vast variety of gummy candies now available worldwide.
