History
Gummies have a long history as a popular confectionery. The candy was invented by the father of Hans Riegel in 1922.
In 2008, R.M. Palmer Co. signed agreement with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey to become a licensee producing seasonal novelty gummies sold in bags, boxes or tins.
Types of gummies

Cola bottles
Cola bottles are sweets in the shape of Coca-Cola bottles.
Fizzy Blue Bottles
Fizzy Blue Bottles are sweets typically found in a Pick N Mix Selection. They are like Cola bottles (the sweet), but are blue and pink coloured. They are sour, and generally cost a penny.
Fizzy Blue Bottles are made by Lutti, which was then purchased by French division of the Leaf Candy Company and is now controlled by a private investment group.
Blue bottles, a variation, have small rims around the sides, and are chewier and thicker with a less sour taste.
Trolli Road Kill Gummies
In February 2005, following complaints by the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Kraft Foods decided to stop production of Trolli Road Kill Gummies. The society complained that the products, shaped as partly flattened squirrels, chickens and snakes, would give children an incorrect message on the proper treatment of animals.
Health considerations
Along with chocolate, chocolate chips and buttons, fudge, chocolate coated nuts and fruit, bubble gum, lollipops, toffee, jelly beans, marshmallows, sherbet, and Turkish Delight, gummies landed on the "What's out in 2009" list for some Canadian schools. An audit in parts of Victoria, British Columbia is planned for 2009 to ensure the government ban on selling the goodies in school canteens and vending machines is obeyed.
Scientists have studied adding tooth-protecting sugar substitute xylitol to gummies to fight tooth decay. Dietary supplement gummies with guarana, vitamin C, vitamin B and other additives are also on the market.
