Have you seen the neolithic amber bear statuette which looks JUST like a gummy bear? A team scanned it and made gummy bears?

I would have chosen a different color than cola, however. What would you have picked?

ETA also, as mentioned by eftychia:

I think cola is the correct choice, here: it's closest to the original amber color. Artistically, I strongly approve! :D

Wow.

That account of orange-experimentation is terrifying.

Orange or yellow would work - or chocolate, if gummy bears come in chocolate. Or root beer flavor, which is pretty close to cola in color. Brown bears - in many languages, the word for "bear" (bruin) is close to the word for "brown".

Oh dear, the orange story :'D
