First created by the German company Trolli in 1981, nearly 60 years after the invention of the gummi bear, gummi worms were intended as a way for kids to shock their parents. Did you know that the word gummi comes from the German word for "rubber"?
Today, gummi worms come in a variety of sugary and sour flavors and have become the most popular gummi candy ever made. The proof? A Facebook page for these multi-colored, gummi delights has nearly 1 million fans! They even have a popular candy-tasting drink named after them that combines strawberry vodka, sprite and grenadine. Now that's a following!
Sticky and sweet, yet creepy and crawly, these four-inch long candies brighten anyone's day. Pick up a bag today to celebrate National Gummi Worm Day!
