Gummy machines have been around since the 1800s and were popularized in the early 1900s. They were initially used to make gummy bears, but over time they were adapted to make other types of gummies, such as jelly beans and fruit flavored gummies. Today, there are many different types of gummy machines available, including those that use liquid sugar syrup, those that use fruit concentrates, and those that use both liquid sugar syrup and fruit concentrates.
