Do You Remember The First Gummy Candy You Ever Tasted?
Gummy candy is an unforgettable sweet memory for the childhood of individuals. The chewy and cheerful fruit candies are not just mouthwatering, but also a milestone symbolizing innocence and joy. Today, gummy candy is an invaluable member of the international snack industry, but do you ever consider how it was originally created? Who brought this stretchy dessert into our lives?
The Origin Of Gummy Candy: a Sweet Story From Germany
The history of gummies begins in Germany in the 1920s. In 1922, Hans Riegel, a candy manufacturer from Bonn, Germany, established the now worldwide-renowned candy company Haribo and created the first fruit-flavored gel candy, “Dancing Bear” (Tanzbär), now renamed “Gummy Bear.”.
Hans Riegel put his name (Hans Riegel) together with the name of the city (Bonn) to create the “Haribo” brand. He incorporated gelatin, fruit flavoring, syrup and natural coloring to develop chewy fruity gummy candies with a cute shape. It became popular in Germany, then throughout Europe, and eventually was a popular family and children’s dessert worldwide.
The Global Popularity Of Gummy Candy: From Little Bears To Various Shapes
Gummy candy, over the decades, has developed, not only by remaining little bear shape but also gradually created other interesting images: fruits, animals, drinks, teeth, pizza, ice cream, etc. The variety of these shapes transforms gummy candies into something beyond being candy, but also an “edible toy” which is especially beloved by children.
Different countries and states have also developed their own unique gummy candy taste and shape based on local culture:
- USA: Likes sweet and sour flavors and juice gummy candy
- Japan: Pays attention to delicate taste and exquisite packaging
- China: Gummy candies pay more and more attention to modeling creativity and diversified flavors, suitable for social sharing and holiday gifts
