The Inside Scoop: Lolli & Pops Gummy Bears

A Chewy Look into the Iconic Gummy Bear

 

Gummy bears were first introduced to the candy world in 1922, more than a century ago. Since then, these popular chewy treats have become a worldwide sensation enjoyed by people of all ages. From classic flavors (like grape and cherry) to creative ones (spicy Chamoy or dark chocolate) to boozy delights (sparkling rosé and mojito), gummy bears are one of the most iconic candies ever made.

 

Yummy, Gummy, and Cute

If you look closely at a Lolli & Pops gummy bear, you’ll find a plump, squishy bear with our signature trademark belly, our guaranteed sign of meticulous attention to quality ingredients, and the tastiest flavor recipes.

Did you know that gummy bears are candy cousins with marshmallows and jello? All three candies are made from gelatin, but they take on VERY different properties depending on the heat and water ratios used to prepare them. In marshmallows, the gelatin becomes a delicious foam that suspends tiny air pockets, giving the treat a fluffy texture. Meanwhile, gummy bears use more gelatin; a marshmallow usually has around 2% content, whereas a gummy bear has between 6%-8%.

This gelatin content is the secret to that perfect chewy gummy bear. As gelatin is heated, its molecular structure begins to unravel, causing its chemical bonds to loosen. Even when it’s cooled, these bonds remain separated, softening the gelatin and giving gummy bears their special, chewy profile.

We get excited about the science that makes these gummy bears so bouncy. Lolli & Pops uses the softest known candy-making mix for our gummy bear formula. This means every gummy bear we make is deliciously chewy and bursting with flavor.

Beyond making gummy bears just as cuddly as they are snackable, we take industry-leading initiatives to minimize our carbon footprint. Lolli & Pops Gummy Bears are created using solar-derived electricity within a naturally-insulated factory. Minimizing the amount of energy required for heating and cooling our gummy bears during production helps increase our eco-friendliness while providing a consistent, mouth-watering gummy bear flavor. Going green now tastes sweeter than ever!
