Hans Riegel invented gummi bears during the 1920s.

Hans Riegel invented gummi bears (the first gummi candy) and gummi candy
during the 1920s. Riegel was the owner of the German candy company
Haribo. Haribo went on to manufacture the first American made gummi
candy in 1982.
In 1981, another German gummi candy manufacturer called Trolli decided
to made the first gummi worm. Gummi worms have become the most popular
gummi candy ever made. The average Brite Crawler the number one sold
gummi worm is two inches long.

Edible gelatin is the basic ingredient in gummi candy. Gelatin is also
found in soft caramels, marshmallows, foam-filled wafers, licorice, wine
gums, pastilles, chocolate coated mallows and a host of other sweets,
because it gives candy elasticity, the desired chewy consistency, and a
longer shelf life. Gelatin has been used since the time of the Egyptian
Pharaohs.
