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

I'll stick to my home made jam.

The Gummi Bear is a German creation. Hans Riegel, a candy maker from Bonn, Germany, invented the Gummi Bear in 1922

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."

You know, depending on the difficulty of the course, it's not a bad idea to have summer sausage or some other form of protein. At our ride the summer sausage paired with Triscuits and cheese are big movers.
