"G" is for Gummi Bear: Precede With Caution!

So many "G" words to choose from and today I decided on Gummi Bear.

Definition: A Gummi bear (also spelled as gummy bear) is a small, rubbery-textured confectionery, similar to a jelly baby in English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 centimetres (0.79 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummi bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies that come in a variety of shapes and colors.

HISTORY: (Found on Wikipedia) The gummi bear originated in Germany, where it is popular under the name Gummibär (help·info) (rubber bear) or Gummibärchen (help·info) (little rubber bear). Hans Riegel Sr., a candy maker from Bonn, started the Haribo company in 1920. In 1922, he invented the Dancing Bear,^[1] a fruit-flavored gum made in the shape of a bear.^[2] The success of the Dancing Bear's successor would later become Haribo's world-famous Gold-Bears candy product in 1967.^[3] Trolli is another gummi candy manufacturer and the first to introduce gummi worms in 1981.^[4] Gummi bears are also one of the few types of candy to have been turned into a television show.^[5]

You either love them or hate them. For me, it depends on my mood. I don't mind eating them singularly, but I do not like them on ice cream. I like some flavors better than others. If you gave me the choice between gummi bears and something with chocolate, I want the chocolate; sorry gummi bear.

As many of you have seen on youtube, there is the Gummi Bear song. Warning: this song is highly addictive once listened to; especially if you have listened to it simultaneously for more than 20 minutes at a time. Just remember before you watch,this is what one person had to say after watching the video, "This song forever changed my mental state. The damage is irreversible."
