Few candies capture childlike joy and chewy delight quite like gummy bears. These tiny, colorful treats have been sparking smiles for generations, but their story stretches back nearly a century.
The origin of the gummy bear dates to the 1920s in Bonn, Germany, when a candy maker named Hans Riegel, founder of Haribo, introduced the world to the first fruit-flavored, gelatin-based bears. Inspired by dancing bears from European street festivals, Riegel’s creation was playful, fun, and—most importantly—delicious. Over time, gummy candies expanded into worms, rings, sharks, and countless creative shapes, but the bear remains the timeless classic.
By the 1980s, gummy bears had become an international phenomenon, popping up in lunchboxes, TV shows, and even science classrooms as edible models. Today, the gummy universe has grown to include sugar-free options, sour twists, and exotic flavors that make candy aisles feel like rainbow playgrounds. From traditional fruit flavors to daring tropical blends, there’s a gummy out there for everyone.
