Of course you love gummies! Who doesn’t? In fact, gummies are a favorite American treat, served everywhere from birthday parties to lunchtime snacks. So what could be better than walking the gummy walk through time, starting with the Turkish delight (a medicine for sore throat around 900 CE) then gum drops (around 1805) then jelly beans (1860s), and ended up as gummy bears in Germany (1920s). As for variety? The possibilities are endless! You’ll find some of the best.
