According to Black Forest the makers of assorted gummies, "gummi candies are a blend of corn starch, corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, color, and flavor." The ingredients are weighed, mixed, and pumped into a special candy cooker that Black Forest uses, a 128 foot long stainless steel coil that cooks the candy by steam outside of the coil.
Then the cooker pumps the gummi into a vacuum chamber to remove excess moisture. From the vacuum chamber the gummi moves on to a mix station where colors, flavors, acids, and fruit concentrates are mixed into the gummi stock. Next, the Mogul, a starch moulding machine pumps the gummi stock into starch filled mould boards that shape the gummi candies. After curing, the gummies are removed from the moulds, packaged, delivered, and sold.

Well, in the forests of Wyoming, there are several underground compounds that serve as breeding ground for the Gum Bear. These ferocious, ten foot tall creatures ravage each other for days at a time. It's basically a concrete box with 104825 Gum Bears involved in a week long orgy, seven times a year. The offspring are called "Gummy" Bears. These are collected in trays laying under metal grates in the floor. The small animals fall through the grates and are killed when the tray dumps them into cold water.
In most cases, the bears are frozen in their natural scared position, which explains why all of the bears are the same shape.
Don't worry, they don't feel pain.

Its a collection of toe jam from between the bear's toes all rolled around in the forrest until they get the proper texture and different flavors.
