General KnOWLedge: How are gummies made?

We know that we don't need to remind you of this, but ... Halloween is just two days away!

What you're getting dressed up as, and just how much—and what kind of—candy you're going to get.

Mini chocolate bars are overwhelmingly popular. Caramels, licorice, and fruit chews? Also up there. And those mini bags of chips always help to break up the sugar rush with something salty (just don't confuse them with being something healthy!).

But today, we want to talk about a treat we're always excited to find in our bags. Gummies!
