The Word “Gumdrop” First Appears In Print In The 1860 Port Townsend, Washington, “North-West” Observed on February 15th, National Gumdrop Day recognizes a favorite candy of many; the gumdrop! On National Gumdrop Day, there is no question as to what to do. Eat gumdrops and eat as many as you want!

Credit for the modern gumdrop goes to chemist and candy manufacturer Percy S. Truesdell. According to articles after his death in 1948, Truesdell took the once hard, poorly ﬂavored glob of sugar and turned it into the smooth, chewy delight we enjoy today. While at the University of Ohio, the chemist altered the consistency of the of the candy by experimenting with the amount of starch used. He later worked for the Snyder-Chafee Company until 1915. In 1916, Truesdell founded and incorporated the P.S. Truesdell Candy Manufacturing Company. At his death, he became known as the Gumdrop King. The NASA Apollo Command modules were nicknamed “Gumdrops” because of it’s conical shape. Branch’s Candy holds the world record for largest gumdrop which weighted in a little larger than 10 lbs. If you had eaten it you would have consumed 15,127 calories. Candy accounts for only 6% of the added sugar in the American diet. Soft drinks and juice account for 46%. Candy became widely available only 130 years ago. Until then, people would make their own fudge or caramel at home. Candy is a health scapegoat – 100 years ago, doctors blamed candy for the spread of polio. In the mid to late 20th century it was blamed for tooth decay. Now it is blamed for obesity. About 65 percent of American candy brands have been around for more than 50 years. A lollipop, which was invented by George Smith in 1908, was named after Lolly Pop, a racing horse.

Chewy Confections
[Confections] Vol. 14 No. 9 September 2004 ww Chewy Confections By Peter Dea, Contributing Editor Gumdrops and lemon drops -- although both are candies, a gumdrop eats differently than a lemon drop. While you may chew on the former, you probably wouldn't the latter. Part of picking candy is based on how interactive you want it to be. That is -- at least for this discussion -- do you want to chew it? When it comes to satisfying our need for a bite-sized sweet treat that also fulfills our desire to chew, it's chewy confections that meet these requirements. Excluding chewing gums, the most common chewy confections include jellies, caramels and nougats, and taffies. Within these groups lie a wide variety of shapes, flavors, textures and sizes. In addition to their broad appeal as traditional confections, chewy treats also find popularity in additional segments as a delivery means for vitamins, minerals and other nutraceutical ingredients. And with the current trend of low-carb lifestyles, sugar-free chewy confections are enjoying new interest. The technology for producing these sweet treats has existed for a long time. But, to implement the knowledge for new applications, it's beneficial to have a good understanding of the basic formulae and processes for each type. Back to basics According to Henry Nonaka, senior technical sales support manager, Corn Products International, Bedford Park, IL: "Combinations of three sweeteners -- sucrose, 42 DE, and 63 DE corn syrups -- are the basis for about every cooked confectionery product. To a lesser extent, high-maltose and high-fructose corn syrups (HFCS) can be used." In combination with moisture content, confectioners vary the amounts of these ingredients to begin creating candies with different textures and eating characteristics.

Truesdell. According to articles after his death in 1948, Truesdell took the once hard, poorly flavored glob of sugar and turned it into the smooth, chewy delight we enjoy today. While at the University of Ohio, the chemist altered the consistency of the of the candy by experimenting with the amount of starch used. He later worked for the Snyder-Chafee Company until 1915.

Gumdrops Were Invented in 1801 but the Word “Gumdrops” Didn’T Exist Until 1859
Gumdrops Were Invented In 1801 But The Word “Gumdrops” Didn’t Exist Until 1859 Observed on February 15th, National Gumdrop Day recognizes a favorite candy of many; the gumdrop! There’s no question as to what to do. Eat gumdrops and eat as many as you want! The classic board game, Candy Land, invented in 1945, features both a Gumdrop Pass and a Gumdrop Mountain. Gumdrops were believed to be invented by Percy Trusdale in 1801, however, many still debate about the history of gumdrops and how they came to be. According to articles after his death in 1948, Truesdell took the once hard, poorly flavored glob of sugar and turned it into the smooth, chewy delight we enjoy today. In 1916, Truesdell founded and incorporated the P.S. Truesdell Candy Manufacturing Company. At his death, he became known as the Gumdrop King. The term “gumdrops” didn’t exist until 1859, when it appeared in the Illinois State Chronicle, as it reported on a candy shop, owned by George Julier. The most popular flavors are cherry, grape, orange, lemon, and spice flavors like clove, cinnamon, mint, and anise (licorice). Originally, gumdrops were flavored with spices: orange (clove), yellow (allspice), red (cinnamon), green (spearmint), purple (anise), white (wintergreen or peppermint), and black(licorice). The NASA Apollo Command modules were nicknamed “Gumdrops” because of its conical shape. Branch’s Candy holds the world record for largest gumdrop which weighted in a little larger than 10 lbs. If you had eaten it you would have consumed 15,127 calories. Candy accounts for only 6% of the added sugar in the American diet.
