Sugary sweets are often hard which is great for certain candies, but the ability to create an incredibly soft and chewy yet still sugar filled treat is an incredible advancement. Lots of people comment on flavors but they forget that the mouth feel is one of the most important parts of any dish or food. While it is a funny word, mouth feel is a real thing and the texture of things can be the most important aspect and make or break an item. If something is delicious but is not an enjoyable chew then suddenly you have a problem on your hands. Gummies are the ultimate fix for this, allowing us a smooth and chewy texture which relieves stress through jaw motion, and a delicious sugary flavor on top of that.
