National Gumdrop Day
February 15, 2024
February 15 is Gumdrop Day. Celebrate this day by treating yourself to a bowlful of the colorful, chewy, and delicious candy. Gumdrops come in many flavors and colors. This unofficial and fun holiday is also called National Gumdrop Day in the United States.
Debates abound as to the history of gumdrops. Some credit Percy Trusdale as the inventor of gumdrops in 1801. The term ‘gumdrop’ was first seen in an Illinois newspaper mentioning a local candy shop owner, George Julier, in the 1850s.
