The Gummy Revolution

In one of my many completely inane conversations while boozing my way around Cape Cod this weekend, it was queried by one of my compadres if the Gummy Bear had actually started what we coined "The Gummy Revolution".

He thought clearly the "bear" was the predecessor to all that we know as Gummy. The worm, coke bottle, ring, were all just mere afterthoughts compared to that lovable gooey piece of gelatin ursus.

Thus spawned a debate of when the bear was even made and when could have the Revolution began. It was even suggested that the Swedish Fish could have started the Revolution. Well, we all know that the Fish is only quasi-gummy and that it couldn't have even come close to rewriting history along those lines.

After a careful examination of the facts, or those loose interpretations from whomever wants to post on wikipedia, I have determined that Bears could have never started a Gummy Revolution since they were the founding fathers of the Gummy World. If anything, there could be a war between Gummy Bears and Swedish Fish since they were produced at about the same time.

Therefore, I think the only logical conclusion would be that the Gummy Worm started the Revolution since it was the first product after the Bear. As one can see we now have everything from Gummy Hamburgers to French Fries. This was clearly a response to the Worms being established. It is clear that the worm and its production company Trolli are totally responsible for the outbreak of Gummy.

However, the Bear will always be the George Washington of Gummy. I mean there was a cartoon show made after them for god's sake. So I guess the question of the day becomes, what is it, Gummy Or Swedish Fish?
