Gumdrops Laying On Table
Gumdrops are a type of gummy candy. They are brightly colored pectin-based pieces, shaped like a narrow dome (sometimes with a flattened top), often coated in granulated sugar and having fruit and spice flavors; the latter are also known as spice drops. History Gumdrops first appeared in the 19th century United States, purportedly as early as 1801, although at that time gumdrop likely referred to small, hard sweets also derived from fruit gelatin. The name "gumdrop" is not found in print until 1859, appearing in an advertisement published by the Decatur, IL ''Illinois State Chronicle'' for a candy shop owned by a George Julier. By that time, a gelatin-based, rubbery candy akin to modern gummies went by the ''gumdrop'' name, but also a pastier candy with a potato starch base. One of the oldest types of gumdrops still produced are "spice" gumdrops, using traditional spices including clove, anise, allspice, spearmint, cinnamon, and wintergreen for flavoring.

Confectionery
Confectionery is the Art (skill), art of making confections, or sweet foods. Confections are items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates, although exact definitions are difficult. In general, however, confections are divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories: baker's confections and sugar confections. Baker's confectionery, also called flour confections, includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar Baking, baked goods. Baker's confectionery excludes everyday Bread, breads, and thus is a subset of products produced by a baker. Sugar confectionery includes candies (also called ''sweets'', short for ''sweetmeats'', in many English-speaking countries), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of sugar confections. The words ''candy'' (Canada ...

Apollo 9
Apollo 9 (March 3–13, 1969) was the third human spaceflight in NASA's Apollo program, which successfully tested systems and procedures critical to landing on the Moon. The three-man crew consisted of Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart. Flown in low Earth orbit, it was the second crewed Apollo mission that the United States launched via a Saturn V rocket, and was the first flight of the full Apollo spacecraft: the command and service module (CSM) with the Lunar Module (LM). The mission was flown to qualify the LM for lunar orbit operations in preparation for the first Moon landing by demonstrating its descent and ascent propulsion systems, showing that its crew could fly it independently, then rendezvous and dock with the CSM again, as would be required for the first crewed lunar landing. Other objectives of the flight included firing the LM descent engine to propel the spacecraft stack as a backup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jujube (confectionery)
Jujube ( or ; also known as jube, jubejube or juju) is a gummy type of candy drop. History A recipe for "pate de jujubes" was published in 1709. The recipe called for gum arabic, sugar, and the date-like jujube fruit. In 1853, both "ju ju paste" and "ju ju drops" were sold by confectioners. Later, recipes used various flavorings instead of jujube fruits.

Jelly Drops
Jelly Drops is a British confectionery company, based in London, England. It produces sugar-free gummy candy that is made of 95% water, designed to support increased hydration in people who are susceptible to becoming dehydrated. It was founded on 28 August 2018 by Lewis Hornby, who was inspired by his elderly grandmother Pat who had dementia and was hospitalized for dehydration. Jelly Drops are also vegan. History Hornby, a 24-year-old Royal College of Art student, conceived of the idea when his grandmother almost died of dehydration. He spent a month in her nursing home and noted that while many people with dementia refused to drink, did not feel thirst or failed to recognize cups, they would still eat confections. He began prototyping sweets that would deliver water and electrolytes to such people, additionally using it as part of his Innovation Design Engineering degree. When a video of Hornby and his grandmother sharing the treats was shared on Facebook, it received o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jelly Baby
Jelly Babies are a type of soft sugar jelly sweets in the shape of plump babies, sold in a variety of colours. They were first manufactured in Lancashire, England, in the nineteenth century. Their popularity waned before being revived by Bassett's of Sheffield in Yorkshire, who began mass-producing Jelly Babies (initially sold as "Peace Babies") in 1918. History "Jelly Babies" are known at least since advertisements by Riches Confectionery Company of 22 Duke Street, London Bridge in 1885, along with a variety of other baby sweets, including "Tiny Totties" and " Sloper’s Babies". But the pricing of these, at one farthing each, suggests that they were very much larger than the modern Jelly Baby. The sweets were invented in 1864 by an Austrian immigrant working at ''Fryers of Lancashire'', and were originally marketed as "Unclaimed Babies". By 1918 they were produced by Bassett's in Sheffield as "Peace Babies", to mark the end of World War I. Bassett's themselves have suppor ...

Gummi Bear
Gummy bears (German: ''Gummibär'') are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors by various brands such as Haribo. History The gummy bear originated in Germany, where it is popular under the name (gum or gummy bear), or in the diminutive form ( ittlegum or gummy bear). Gum arabic was the original base ingredient used to produce the gummy bears, hence the name ''gum'' or ''gummy''. Hans Riegel Sr., a confectioner from Bonn, started the Haribo company in 1920. In 1922, inspired by the trained bears seen at street festivities and markets in Europe through to the 19th century, he invented the Dancing Bear (''Tanzbär''), a small, affordable, fruit-flavored gum candy treat for children and adults alike, which was much larger in form than its later successor, the Go ...

Goody Goody Gum Drops
Goody Goody Gum Drops is a New Zealand flavour of ice cream made by Tip Top (ice cream), Tip Top. It is pastel-green-coloured, bubblegum-flavoured and contains gumdrops. It is considered iconic to New Zealand, and perception of the flavour is polarising among New Zealanders. History Goody Goody Gum Drops was invented in 1983 by the general director of Tip Top (ice cream), Tip Top, Murray Taylor. According to Taylor, having a good distribution of gumdrops in the ice cream is difficult and "Very few ice-cream makers in the world would have attempted it". In 2008, Tip Top created a variant of the ice cream flavour on a stick as a limited edition. According to Taylor, it took two years for the stick version to be created, due to distribution of the gumdrops being a problem. At first they all came out as a big lump, and Danish consultants created a mathematical model of the normal distribution of the gumdrops, saying that the goal could not be achieved. To mark the launch of the p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chuckles
Chuckles are jelly candies coated with a light layer of sugar. They come in five flavors: lime, orange, cherry, lemon, and licorice. Each package of Chuckles contains one piece of each flavor. The candies are made with corn syrup, sugar, modified and unmodified cornstarch, and natural and artificial flavors and colors. History The Chuckles brand was first produced in 1921 by Fred W. Amend.
