[Answer] What was the original name for "gummy bears?"

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


What was the original name for "gummy bears?"


  • Dancing bears:In the 1920s, German confectionery worker Hans Riegel decided to start a candy factory. His factory produced hard candies that his wife would then deliver by bicycle. Riegel also sold his candies at street fairs, but they weren't as popular as he'd hoped. He wanted to produce something different. He began experimenting, and finally developed a soft candy that became wildly popular. His candies were unlike anything else: it was more firm and chewier than other soft candies. Riegel fashioned his gummy bears after dancing bears he saw at street fairs. This gave him the idea for the name of his sweet treats. He named them "Dancing Bears." It was later changed to "Gummy Bears." Source: WorldSnax.com
