Every year on July 15th, candy lovers unite to celebrate National Gummi Worm Day, and in 2025, the sweet festivities fall on a Tuesday. This quirky holiday honors the stretchy, squiggly treats that wriggled into our hearts since their debut in the early 1980s by German candy maker Trolli. Originally created as a playful twist on the classic gummi bear, gummi worms quickly became a favorite for their dual flavors, vibrant colors, and fun textures. Whether you enjoy them straight from the bag, buried in a chocolate “dirt” parfait, or soaking in a cocktail, gummi worms offer endless ways to indulge. From sour-coated tangy bites to organic, vegan-friendly versions, there’s a worm for every palate. So grab a handful, share with friends, and let your inner child celebrate the joy of candy that’s as fun to play with as it is to eat.
