Gummy Fact #3: Gummy Bears And Gummy Worms Didn't Make It To America Until The 1980s. Haribo opened up a company in Baltimore, MD in 1982, but a year before, the American company Trolli introduced the popular sweet called gummy worms to American kids, exciting children and disgusting parents all over the country.

Speaking of gummy worms, did you know that the wriggly candy was invented in 1981, almost 60 years after the first gummy bear? The concept was originally created to entice children while simultaneously disgusting their parents, and the trend was massively successful.

The history of Trolli started in 1948 with the founding of the confectionery company "Wilmed" by Willy Mederer - the father and role model of the current Trolli owner, Herbert Mederer.
