I sure do enjoy eating Gummy Bears. It’s one of my favorite candies that I’ve been eating since I was a kid, and until now, I never knew about the history of how it came to exist. I came across this video from Mental Floss, and it was filled full of details I never knew before, and I thought some of you other Gummy Bear lovers would be interested in watching something like this as well.

How did gummy bears go from niche German sweet to the world’s favorite gelatin candy?
On today’s episode, we’re breaking down the history of gummy bears. From Turkish delight to Haribo to centuries of animal abuse, the path to gummy bears isn’t always sweet.

Watch the video and enjoy eating some Gummy Bears!
