'National' Gumdrop Day
[This is referred to as a "National" day. However, no
congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day were found.]
Yummy, gummy Gumdrop Day presents the opportunity (or the excuse) to eat as many
gumdrops as possible (within reason, with consideration for teeth,
sugar levels and general health)!
It’s National Gumdrop Day! Gumdrops are a tasty, chewy candy
made with gelatin and coated with sugar. Gumdrops can come in fruity
flavors like grape, cherry, orange, and lemon or spiced flavors like
cinnamon, clove, mint, and anise.
Many people believe that a man named Percy Trusdale invented the gumdrop in 1801, but there is very little evidence to support this claim. What we do know is that gumdrops have been a popular confection for at least two hundred years. The board game Candy Land features both a Gumdrop Pass and a Gumdrop Mountain!
