As a subject matter expert in the field of confectionery production, I can tell you that a gummy bear is not a living organism that grows over time like a plant or an animal. Instead, gummy bears are manufactured through a process that involves mixing, heating, and cooling ingredients to create the chewy texture we all know and love.

The process of making gummy bears typically involves the following steps:


1. Mixing: Sugar, glucose syrup, gelatin, citric acid, flavorings, and colorings are combined.

2. Cooking: The mixture is heated to a specific temperature to activate the gelatin and create a smooth consistency.

3. Pouring: The hot mixture is poured into molds shaped like bears or other shapes.

4. Cooling: The gummy bears are allowed to cool and set in the molds.

5. Drying: After cooling, the gummy bears are dried to remove any excess moisture.

6. Packaging: Once dry, they are packaged and ready for distribution.

The actual time it takes to make gummy bears from start to finish can vary depending on the size of the operation and the specific recipes used, but it generally takes a few hours to a day to complete the entire process.
