Gummy Bears and Gummi Candy
The gummi bear is a German creation. Hans Riegel, a candy maker from Bonn, Germany, invented the gummi bear in 1922. Initially, he called his invention the "dancing bear" and named the company that manufactured the bears "Haribo," an acronym for Hans Riegel Bonn. The confection became popular by the end of its first year.
For many years, gummi bears were imported to America. American high school students were among the first Americans to know about the gummi bear. They learned about the candy through their German classes. In 1981, the Herman Goelitz Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) created the first American-made gummi bear. A year later, the Haribo Company brought their business to the U.S., and the candy was now easily accessible to Americans.
