Who likes gum drops? why are they called gum drops?!

I love gumdrops and I believe they are called gumdrops for the same reason the little bears and worms are called gummi-bears and gummi-worms!. Because they are all made from a very thick brightly-colored gelatin (or pectin-based piece) which is quite "gummy" (or chewy like gum) in texture!. The drop part of it's name comes from it's shape!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
