15th of Feb - National Gumdrop Day
Gumdrops. Chances are you guys don't know what a Gumdrop is. Shame on you, and shame on anyone who is not reading this blog to find out. A gumdrop is basically gelatin gum, molded into a shape, and then covered in sugar. That's it. Oh and the gelatin gum is flavored, sometimes. So what we have is sugary gum encased in sugar. They sit in your stomach a little, like you can feel them being digested. I think that's probably the gum.
They all have faces. Only one of them has legs. What have you done with your life?
You may know Gumdrops as Jubes. As the local supermarket had nothing specifically marked as 'GUMDROPS' me and Michelle, (who has fond memories of Gumdrops, the beach, and her family), bought Jubes instead, as the next best thing. Or possibly the original thing, as there seems to be little difference.
KA-KRACK!
You can also get Spice Drops, oooooh!
CRASH!
In America Gumdrops are called 'American Hard Drops". Again, ooooh!
BAM!
Look to be honest there's not a lot that's interesting about Jubes, so yeah, oooh!
KA-POW!
We ate them though.
They were awful.
Happy National Gumdrop Day
