They are brightly colored pectin-based pieces, shaped like a narrow dome (sometimes with a flattened top), often coated in granulated sugar and having fruit and spice flavors; the latter also known as spice drops. HistoryGumdrops first appear in the 19th century United States, purportedly as early as 1801, though the name isn't known in print until 1859, appearing in an ad in the Illinois State Chronicle in Decatur, IL that year, for a candy shop owned by a George Julier. By that time, a gelatin-based, rubbery candy akin to modern gummies went by that name, but also a more pasty candy with a potato starch base.[1] One of the oldest types of gumdrops still produced are "spice" gumdrops, using the traditional spices to flavor them, including clove, anise, allspice, spearmint, cinnamon, wintergreen.[2] UsageGumdrops, spice drops, and their variations are used in baking, candy crafting, decorating — as with cakes and cupcakes. Around Christmas, they are used in decorating gingerbread houses and other confections. In popular cultureFebruary 15th is National Gumdrop Day.[3] The Apollo 9 Command module was nicknamed "Gumdrop".[4] The board game Candy Land includes a "Gumdrop Pass" and "Gumdrop Mountain".
