History
Gummies have a long history as a popular confectionery. The candy was invented in Germany by Hans Riegel Sr., the father of Hans Riegel, in 1922.
In 2008, R.M. Palmer Co. signed an agreement with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey to become a licensee producing seasonal novelty gummies sold in bags, boxes or tins.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
