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.
These candies quickly became an American favorite. Haribo's clear Gummi Bears are pineapple-flavored while the red ones are berry-flavored. Gummi Bears are usually always fruit-flavored and an orange gummy bear tastes like orange, a yellow one, like lemon and a green one, like lime. Gummibar or Gummibarachen means small rubber bears in German.
