Gummi Bear Day! The Haribo Company began making gummi bears on this date in 1922. My tie shows them in large scale, but my tie tack comes very close to their "actual size."

Today is the first of two days to celebrate Beth's birthday! She asked me to wear my gummi bears tie today, and I'm very happy to show my gummi bear tie tack! They are my favorite candy treat, whether small or very large.

Our  youngest granddaughter T. R. turns 1 year old today! I laid out five ties on our bed and she quickly grabbed this one, featuring gummi bears!

When thinking about a tie to wear for Serendipity Day, I chanced to remember my happiness with gummi bears, and so I'm wearing my gummi bear tie! It shows some very large bears, and I happen to have some real gummi bears that are about the same size as on the tie! I hope you can take a moment today to enjoy reading this about serendipity: The word "serendipity" dates back to the mid-1700s. It was first coined by English author Horace Walpole in the year 1754. The author explained the root cause of the word to his friend in a letter. He mentioned that the word he found was taken from a Persian fairy tale called The Three Princes of Serendip. The narration of the tale is all about the three princes who were expelled from the kingdom of Serendip aka Sri Lanka to prove their worth. Serendipitous moments occur as soon as they travel the world as they made discoveries by accidents which they hadn’t looked for. Thus, serendipity referred to a journey and discovering something unexpected.

 Happy National Gummi Bear Day! My tie features gummi bears, zoomed up to very large size! And I will eat one of my big bears today. The candy's name is sometimes spelled with a "y," but the "i" honors its German roots in the word Gummibär. Hans Riegel started the "Haribo" candy company in 1920, and began producing gummi sweets around 1922. Haribo now makes more than 80 million gummi bears every day.

Happy National Gummi Bear Day! My tie shows them giant-sized. Some calendars show this as Gummi Worm Day -- my family keeps me prepared for all my bear necessities with all the varieties.

Hooray for National Gummi Bear Day! Some people spell it gumm-y, but the "i" spelling is closer to the German origins. These little guys and their many sweet relations (worms, fish, stars, whatever) are among my favorite snacks. The excellent tie was a Christmas present from Beth.

This new tie is a real treat! It features gummi bears, zoomed up to very large size! The candy's name is sometimes spelled with a "y," but the "i" honors its German roots in the word Gummibär. Hans Riegel started the "Haribo" candy company in 1920 (99 years ago in the New Year), and began producing gummi sweets around 1922. Haribo now makes more than 80 million gummi bears every day.
