I love gummi worms and bears, as long as they’re not those awful sour ones, if I’m not in the mood for chocolate (which isn’t often). ---

I like Haribo, too - they’re harder and chewier than most American gummis. Mr. Horseshoe introduced me to the special treat that is: frozen gummi bears. Now I keep a bag in the breakroom freezer, much to grandboss’s eternal consternation and confusion. ---

For my part I never like the texture of jelly beans, they stick to the teeth, but apart from that I **love** Jelly Bellies. Know what I’d like to see? Gummi Bellies – just like Jelly Bellies, same range of flavors, but gummi! 🙂 ---

Mmm, Haribo Happy Cola! 🙂 Haribo gummis definitely have a superior “mouth-feel” compared to other manufacturers. I have to be careful how many I eat though…they do tend to make me sick in large quantities. ---

> [@Markxxx](#): > > Swedish fish were the biggest sellers, I couldn’t keep enough of them on the shelf I don’t consider Swedish Fish to be gummi, though. I really kinda hate gummis, the mouth-feel is icky and I don’t eat gelatin anyway. I love Swedish Fish and Aussie licorice (the fruit flavors) and Twizzlers. So _chewy_ candy, yes, but gummi, no. ---

Like gummis. Do not like sour gummis. Swedish Fish and Twizzlers are acceptable only if no other sugary treat is available–I wouldn’t buy them but if someone passed a bag around during a boring meeting I would indulge. On vacation once, I bought some gummi bears from a confectionary shop and they came in one of those small white boxes. I left it in the car while we went to the beach, and came back to find gummi bear stew. It was lovely to behold. Not bad to eat, but absolutely superb to look at. ---

Omg gummies. LOVE! They made me seriousy gain loads of weight when I was in university, until I figured to ration myself to no more than a bag a week. I love the haribo ones, but my favorite are actually the Mark and Spencer fizzy fish. Those last an hour, if that! ---

I like the original Haribo-style gummis quite a bit. They have to be just the right amount of squishy. ---

I detest them. For some strange reason I get a headache if I eat them. Blech! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-gummis/581666.md?page=1)
