A gummy bear (German: GummibÃ¤r) is a small, fruit gum candy, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors.
With this in mind, crazy confectioners have created a whole new breed of Gummi Bears, and by gum, theyâre ginormous! If youâve ever wondered what 6120 calories look like in chewy ursine form (and who hasnât), feast your eyes on the Giant Gummi Bear.
