July 15th is Gummi Worm Day. These yummy candies were created by the German company Trolli in 1981. These creepy, crawly treats now exist in a variety of flavors. Sweet or sour, red or green, the choice is yours.
This first gummi was created by Hans Riegel, the founder of Haribo. It was named because of its rubber-like texture. In fact, "gummi" means “rubber” in German.
