A jello sandwich?
You thought we ate peanut butter and jello?
That would be fun to watch.

There's always room for Jello!

I was at my local grocery store and right next to my newly discovered Cadbury Flake bars was a big box of Winegums! I've never seen that before today, and never heard of them until this thread. Look like Gummy Bears to me.

Now for a bit of trivia.

For those in the United States of America,wine gums most closely resemble Jujyfruits in colours, texture, and sweetness, though with different flavours.

Maynards Wine Gums were first introduced in 1909
The Gummi Bear is a German creation. Hans Riegel, a candy maker from Bonn, Germany, invented the Gummi Bear in 1922

Now don't you feel better for knowing that.

I never go on a cycling trip without my wine gums!
And peanutbutter and jam sandwiches...

I'll stick to my home made jam.

I had no idea they'd been around so long.

I did know they were German, because I was introduced to them by a guy who'd been in the US Army stationed in Germany in the 1970s, before they were imported to the USA. To this day, I still pronounce it "gummi" bears. People look at me funny.

Ah -- they did look more like Jujyfruits - and sounded too. (I just had to shake the box. No idea why!)

So, what's the difference in pronunciation between "gummy" and "gummi?"

I say it more like "goo-mee." Mostly what I hear from others is "gumm-ih."
