تعریف و معنای "gum ball"

What is "gum ball"?

A gum ball is a type of small, round, hard candy that is often dispensed from a vending machine. The candy is made by combining sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings, and then heating the mixture until it forms a thick syrupy consistency. The candy is then poured into molds and allowed to cool and harden. Gum balls come in a variety of flavors and colors, and are often brightly colored. They are typically coated in a hard candy shell that can be cracked open to reveal a soft and chewy gum center. Gum balls are popular with children and can be found at candy stores, amusement parks, and other places where candy is sold.
