  There they sit in the sweet box https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2mq8wb349qvsmd/IMAG0229.jpg nobody wants them. Rock hard tooth rotters and filling tugging sweets.
  
  USA / American hard gums - did they originate there or are they just a UK invention with an exotic name to help them sell?
  
  Tasteless, hard to chew, mouth gunging confectionery - that's the USA hard gum.

  
  Bloody love them and always have.

  Gum drops are an old fashioned American sweet, and they're not supposed to be hard. I've never heard of hard gums.

  All valid questions. I can confirm that residents of Bath like bath buns - amazing fresh buns everywhere.

  American here. I think they are disgusting, but I'm sure some people like them. We call them gum drops here.

  They are called American Hardgums and have been around since I was a child 2 centuries ago. They are also horrible!
