OP here.

In my town, every year we gather in city hall to make pic related. These are called Gummys. Its a custom that goes back almost 100 years. I come from a poor state in the US (wont say which one) that until recently had very few jobs. The only real industry here was candy and many families worked for a gum factory here to make ends meet. On christmas many families would make gummys as presents for one another because nonone could afford toys. I didnt realize it was unusual until I started traveling around 20 and no one knew what I was asking about when I talked about making gummys.
