National Tapioca Pudding Day and National Gummy Worm Day in USA

Why do people like tapioca pudding? It's creamy, sweet, hearty and comforting, with squishy pearls that are fun to eat. It's also not a bad choice for dessert, as tapioca is made from a starchy root vegetable — cassava — that has no fat, gluten or protein. Who invented tapioca pudding? Tapioca pudding is often credited to Susan Stavers, who created the tapioca pudding recipe in the late 19th century. She later sold her recipe and it became minute tapioca. It was a popular dessert around the world during the 20th century.

Gummies were invented in Germany in the 1920s. In the 1920s, Hans Riegel of Germany started his own candy company and eventually popularized the fruit flavored gummy candy with gelatin as the main ingredient. By the start of World War Two, the company started by Riegel employed over 400 people and produced multiple tons of candy each day.
