Gummibär
Why are gummy bears so darn tasty?
With our recent office migration, I have lost contact with the peanut M&M’s (thank goodness). The newest form of candy by my cube-side is a big canister of gummy bears, consistently stocked and ever inviting.
When you think about it, the concept of gummy bears is somewhat gross. I mean, they are squishy, translucent, fruit flavored bears. Who in god’s name came up with that one? The thought of eating a rubber bear does not excite my tastebuds.
Actually, Gummy bears (also known as gummi bears or Gummibär--rubber bear) are of German decent. Haribo created them in 1922. I never knew that they've been around for so long.

i submit that anything gummy is tasty, while anything gummy and sour is tastier.

...and anything that becomes nearly transparent and expands to many times its original size when placed in water is cool.
