Gumdrop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the children's stories by Val Biro, see Gumdrop (fictional car).
Gumdrops are a type of confectionery (candy). They are usually brightly-colored gelatin- or pectin-based pieces, shaped like a truncated cone and coated in granulated sugar. Gumdrops come in many varieties of fruity flavors. They are often used for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Around Christmas time this candy is a key ingredient in making gingerbread houses.
National Gumdrop day is February 15. This is a day where all gumdrop lovers can join together and appreciate the sugary candy.
The Apollo 9 Command module is named after this sweet candy on account of the blue cellophane around it.
