MicaFlake · Accepted Answer

Gummy bear. Gummy bears were originally called "Dancing Bears" when a German candy maker named Hans Riegel invented them in 1922, and they were actually twice the size of today's version because they were meant to be softer and chewier. The name changed to "Gummibär" (gummy bear) partly because the larger treats resembled the trained bears that were popular street performers in Europe at the time, and modern versions got smaller when recipes were updated to make them shelf-stable.
