What are Gummy Worms?
Gummy worms are a type of colorful and soft jelly candy, often available in two colors and with a sweet and sour taste. They are fun to eat because of their rubbery, chewy texture. Children never tire of playing with and eating them, and adults also find them delicious.
The History of Gummy Worms
Gummy worms, a soft, colorful, and sweet-and-sour candy, are beloved by children and adults alike. Their texture is rubbery, which allows them to melt slowly in the mouth, providing a fun flavor experience. They are often used in parties, cake decorations, and festivals. Gummy worms come in many flavors - such as strawberry, orange, lemon, and blueberry - allowing everyone to find a taste they like.
The history of gummy worms is also interesting. They were first created in 1981 by Trolli, a famous candy manufacturer from Germany. Earlier, in 1920, Haribo had made gummy bears, but the unique worm-like shape of gummy worms made them even more fun. For children, this became not just a candy but also something to play with and scare friends. Today, this candy is loved all over the world and is celebrated every year on July 15th as National Gummi Worm Day.
