These gummy candies were foreign to America until 1981, it was about 1981 when the American manufacturer by the name of Trolli developed the gummy worm. He wanted to give kids and people something fun, different, and weird (to some people) to snack on. Today, the gummy worm is one of the most popular gummies.
