You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gummy worms''' (also called '''Gummi Worms'''<ref>It was founded under the name "Gummi worms" by Trolli in 1981 but numerous other brands such as [[Haribo]] and [[Sour Patch Kids]] call it "Gummy worms"</ref>) are a type of [[worm]]-shaped [[gummy candy]]. They are made from a mixture of [[sugar]], [[corn syrup]], [[gelatin]], and [[flavoring]]s.<ref>((Cite web |title=Gummy Worms Are Newer Than You Think |url=https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/gummy-worms-newer-think-213000428.html |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=www.yahoo.com |language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Williams |first=Leah J. |date=2022-10-17 |title=Trolli has created a Halo 'Feedler' that shoots gummy worms |url=https://www.gameshub.com/news/news/halo-world-championshi-feedler-gun-gummy-worms-trolli-31641/ |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=GamesHub |language=en-AU))</ref>

== History ==
((Section citations needed|date=August 2023))
The invention of gummy worms can be attributed to the [[Germany|German]] confectionery manufacturer [[Haribo]] in 1981.<ref>((Cite web |date=2022-07-15 |title=Today is: Gummi Worm Day |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/today-gummi-worm-day-092406821.html |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Yahoo Finance |language=en-US))</ref> Renowned for their ''[[Haribo#Goldbears|Goldbären]]'' (Gold Bears) gummy candies, Haribo sought to introduce a novel variation of their popular product. They had the idea of shaping the gummy [[candy]] into a worm-like form.

Swiftly gaining favor in European markets, gummy worms later began to be sold in the [[United States]]. Initially, Haribo's gummy worms were imported and primarily retailed in specialty candy stores. However, their appeal soon entered them into the mainstream candy market. Encouraged by the growing demand, other confectionery companies began manufacturing their own versions of gummy worms, introducing a diverse array of flavors and colors to the market.

The unique shape and texture of gummy worms contributed to their versatility as a confection. Usage ranges from a topping for [[ice cream sundae]]s to serving as a key ingredient in various baking recipes. Gummy worms emerged as a popular choice among [[Halloween]] trick-or-treaters and are also used as [[party favor]]s.

== Ingredients ==
The most common types of gummy worms typically contain gelatin, sugar, water, corn syrup or glucose syrup, flavorings (such as fruit extracts or artificial flavors), coloring agents, and, in some cases, citric acid for a sour taste.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |date=2013-07-24 |title=Investigation: What's In Gummy Worms? |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gummy-worms_n_3639519 |access-date=2023-05-28 |website=HuffPost |language=en))</ref> Additional ingredients may include vegetable oils or waxes for coating and for preventing sticking.<ref name=":0" />

== Variations ==
Gummy worms are sold in various flavors, sizes, and textures. Flavors include traditional fruit flavors like cherry, strawberry, and orange, as well as more adventurous options like sour apple, watermelon, and tropical blends.<ref name=":1">((Cite web |date=2022-11-06 |title=Gummy Worms' Gross Out '80s Introduction To The US |url=https://www.tastingtable.com/1083096/gummy-worms-gross-out-80s-introduction-to-the-us/ |access-date=2023-05-28 |website=Tasting Table |language=en-US))</ref>

[[File:Sweet and Sour (434687439).jpg|thumb|Gummy worms with a sour coating]]
Some gummy worms have a sugar coating, and others a [[Sour sanding|sour dusting]]. In terms of size, gummy worms can range from small, bite-sized pieces to larger, jumbo versions. Additionally, there are variations in texture, with some gummy worms having a softer, chewier consistency while others provide a firmer bite.<ref name=":1" />
